Not long after we started birding, we discovered that the search for Warblers was at the heart of what we loved about this pursuit. Every species has its appeal, but Warblers are different. They are usually small, often quite shy, always beautiful — and often very hard to find. That means the rewards — and the lessons they offer — are both rich and profound.
