Northern parula

Sometimes in spring, especially in the hardwood forests along the Silver River, the woods come alive with a buzzy song from high up in the canopy. Northern parulas are tiny warblers dressed up in blue-gray and yellow.  They’re often difficult to spot. Try Cornell University’s Merlin app to identify their distinctive song. And when you hear it, look up!
