Warbler Guy, I’m in n. WI and wonder which wood-warbler species are the most likely to see as winter approaches? Which late, persisting warblers hang around in the northern USA?

Good question, Elsie (in Rhinelander)

Typically, there’s a few lingering wood-warbler species that typically are the most likely to see in November and, even, on Christmas Bird Count surveys in northern latitudes in the Lower 48 USA states, including:

Yellow-rumped

Palm

Common Yellowthroat

Orange-crowned

and

Pine Warbler

Other candidates?

I believe Black & White and Cape May are more infrequent than the aforementioned species as malingers.

Readers may have valid opinions to share. Please let me know.

Meanwhile, it’s back to birding fun….I’m excited to soon lead some birding trips as a guide….and my ZOOM show will highlight rare and vagrant bird species behavior, including the ecology of vagrancy.

Interested in a birding tour? Please contact me at DanielEdelstein@att.net …and my web site (WarblerWatch.com) has a “Birding Tours” section for information.
