Yesterday sitting out on the porch, I couldn't believe my eyes. A Northern Parula had landed atop a perch I have placed about 18" above one of my birdbaths. Anybody who has been out in the woods, particularly looking for Warblers, has seen this bird. He inhabits woodlands, never going to a feeder. He gleans all types of insects from the leaves, constantly in motion. Birders will often see him, following his path from branch to branch, trying to identify what it is, only to finally say, "It's only a Parula".

I have seen this bird many dozens of times, and the second picture is the best I was ever able to catch. The first pic is the Tropical Parula, taken in Costa Rica.

Anyway, this fully mature adult didn't stay long, but he did have the luxury of a quick dip before heading back to the woods on the other side of the river. Hopefully he will tell his friends and return.
