βͺ our own warblers, then think again.
These are #American βwood-warblersβ of the family #Parulidae, whose plumage β even in autumn β is a galaxy of rich, bright colours.
And this afternoon, I had an even more uncommon visitor to my backyard: a female magnolia warbler.
I've only seen one in my garden twice before, five years ago, and ten years ago! So I guess I was due for a quinquennial visit.

Two days ago, I had another birdbath visitor: a female yellowthroat!

I'm closer to Prospect Park, but I'm also close to Green-Wood!
They're not common visitors to my garden - at least not while I'm in it to see them! I saw my first ever in 2007, right in my backyard. I've observed them more frequently in recent years.

Why yes, I do garden for habitat. Why do you ask?
(Visiting my garden right now.)
