Beautiful Blackburn

Description

The dazzling Blackburnian is by far my favorite warbler, and the reason is perfectly shallow: they are absolutely, stunningly gorgeous. I've never seen one before in person up until a few weeks ago, shortly after I got a new lens and went birding up on the Blue Ridge Parkway for the first time. The forest at those glorious high altitudes was rich with warblers, like bright little jewels among the trees. In the few times I've been up there this spring, I've seen black-throated green, black-throated blue, hooded, northern parula, black-and-white, Louisiana waterthrush, chestnut-sided, and others in addition to the blackburn. 

This was my favorite shot of the bunch I took because it's the crispest, but you can view my other shots of this fiery little fellow on my Smugmug: emilywilloughby.smugmug.com/ke…
