Rare Sighting Of Northern Parula At Upper Water Canyon
A rare Spring visitor from the East, a Northern Parula spotted May 3 through today, May 5 at Upper Water Canyon. It typically breeds in eastern North America from southern Canada to Florida. Northern Parulas rapidly flit and hop primarily through the upper levels of the forest and subcanopy, but during migration they also forage in the understory. They tend to flutter around at the tips of branches quickly plucking insects or reaching out to grab prey. Males are particularly vocal during spring migration. Source: www.allaboutbirds.org.
