Wilson's Warbler
August 2012 – Wind River Mountains, Wyoming
I was surprised to find Wilson’s Warblers picking through the willows at 11,000ft elevation in the Wind River Mountains. These are fairly widespread birds… Apparently, they have no problem with a wide assortment of habitats too.
Wilson's Warbler
May 2008 – Tillamook State Forest, OR
In 2008, I hiked the length of the Wilson River Trail in the Oregon Coast Range. This is a 20.6 mile trail along a section of the Wilson River. It seemed an appropriate place to spot a Wilson’s Warbler. This guy was singing and circling around. I took a 20 minute break from hiking, and managed to get myself deep into a bush near where the bird had been returning. So, I just sat there and waited for him to come back. I had nearly given up, when he came closer than ever and allowed me to snap a few clear shots.
