[Mnbird] FOY/spring warblers

[Pamela Freeman]

I was at the barn where I board my horses this weekend.
Sunday out along a trail that on one side is a pasture bordered by low
shrubby high bush cranberry (small tree/large bush size) and on the other,
deciduous woods with some white pine and fir interspersed, and lots of
scrub and ground cover in front of and in the woods.

I was happy walking along on my mare when something caught my eye flitting,
small and olive green-ish, drab, some would have called it, but yet it did
not
come off as drab but as subtle and dainty, with a tiny pointed beak. I am
fairly sure it was an orange crowned warbler, though, to be sure I have not
spied one before.
But it sure does fit the picture and description in AllAboutBirds.

The other fun sighting was a Palm Warbler - these I have seen before, and
could be sure of the ID.
There were also several yellow rumps paying court, and I saw a blue bird
hunting insects in the pastures.
