Nature Conservancy:  Fire and Kirtland’s Warbler

The Kirtland’s warbler is one of the rarest songbirds in North America and it can only be found in small portions of Michigan, Wisconsin and Ontario during the breeding season. This bird has an unusual natural friend — intense forest fires. Kirtland’s warblers nest primarily in large stands of young jack pine, which are created by regeneration from seed after intense fires. In this forest type, the role of fire is to hit the ‘reset’ button and start a new forest that can become a suitable home for the warblers after about five years…

Prairie Warbler (Setophaga discolor) 

A tail-wagging yellow warbler with black streaks down its sides, the Prairie Warbler is found in scrubby fields and forests throughout the eastern and south-central United States, not on the prairies. ~All About Birds

Taken on South Padre Island, TX. A stop on his migration path.

It turns out there are a LOT of Parulidae photos floating around Tumblr.

These guy are so pretty. I love it when they first show up in the spring. They usually stay hidden away in the foliage, but I still know they’re here because I start hearing their song.
