I am linking up with Wild Bird Wednesday and Nature Notes
On Sunday morning hubby and I took our walk on one of the reservoir fireroad trails. The Hooded Warbler is one of the birds seen in this area. We were not disappointed with at least two Hooded Warblers moving around a tree covered in berries. I am using one of my archived shots of the Hooded Warbler, the birds we saw moved around much too quickly for a photo. But, we had fantastic views of this beautiful bird.
The Hooded Warbler is one of the warblers I am starting to learn its song or sounds. I could hear this bird even before we were close. I love the pretty color and markings on this warbler, it is one of my favorite warblers. The male Hooded Warbler has a yellow mask in a jet black hood.
Seeing the Hooded Warbler reminds me of the quote.. My favorite bird is the bird I am seeing right now. I am sorry I can not find the author of the quote and I may not have the quote worded perfectly. But, I think you can tell I too have many favorite birds.

Beautiful warbler, Eileen. I do NOT know my Warblers --but there are many beautiful ones, aren't there? The Hooded Warbler is gorgeous. Glad you saw him!
Hugs,
Betsy
Eileen!!! You managed to frame this Hooded Warbler perfectly!!! This is without a doubt one of your best photos, ever.
I had to stop and call Bud into the room, the Hooded is one of his favorites. He admired it greatly.
Beautiful bird.
What a little beauty! Another new one for me.
I've never seen one of these. What a beautiful bird!
Fantastic shot of the hooded warbler. Its a beauty!
What a handsome little fellow, love that little yellow face :)
You are so right - how could we possibly choose one favourite bird?
What a beautiful bird. I have never seen one before. I don't think we get any of them around here.
I don't have any warblers on my list.... So pretty.... Michelle
Great find on the warbler Eileen. Such a pretty bird and this is a great photo!
He's beautiful! I've never seen one - so thanks for sharing!
Beautiful Eileen . . .
Breathtaking photo, Eileen.
He is a gorgeous looking bird.
Great photo and beautiful bird.
...what a treasure!
That's a wonderful warbler -- I'd love to see it in 'person'....but your picture is the next best thing. And I love that quote, whoever said it. It's very true for me too.
I love the colour of this beauty.
Those birds are so pretty. I had always heard of Hooded Orioles, but never Warblers.
At Mum's place this past Spring I photographed one, but they are so shy and quick to get close to and I don't have the type of professional camera to zoom in.
Thats a lovely one Eileen....i like the colors very much.
Greetings and i wish you a nice wednesday, Joop
Gosh, those are pretty birds. I wonder if we have them. Sometimes you "hear" birds, just don't see them. I'll have to check out their song on the net.......
I think that is one in a million, it's beautiful.
Very beautiful bird and very well photographed, Eileen.
This species I have never seen.
Greetings Irma
The little yellow bird is beautiful ! Amazing !
Best regards, Synnöve
It is a gorgeous looking bird!
Lovely pic Eileen!
We don't have it here in the south of France, great to discover what species you can see!
Cheers, keep well!
That is clever to be able to tell a bird from its song. He is a pretty bird. I find most birds hop about too fast for me to snap.
Wonderful bird, beautifully captured!
Oh, I wish I were seeing these pretty warblers! As I often see pigeons, I can't say your quote works for me. But I do see beauty in our little sparrows.
He is just beautiful! I love the black and yellow.
such a cutie, i have never seen one...until now!!
I love this Eileen! I love birds with yellow in them (especially Goldfinches) and this Hooded Warbler is beautiful!!
what a gorgeous bird!
Hallo Eileen!!
Great shot of the Hooded Warbler bird!!It looks so preety!!It's good you can tell a bird from its song!Thank you for sharing!!Have a lovely afternoon!!Hugs!!
Dimi...
Eileen, I would love to see that bird! Nice shot and nice story! the quote is by Ken Kauffman. I think he said it in an article in Bird Watcher's Digest! It may also be in his book, Kingbird Highway. And I totally agree with him and you!
Hi Eileen, Beautiful! I hope to see one some day. Your picture is a nice one. Have a wonderful day!
Gorgeous bird! And I like that quote. There are so many beautiful birds it's hard to choose just one favorite!
Oh, he is so pretty. I don't think we have them here.
Beautiful shot!
This is a beautiful bird -- you did a great job in capturing this photo. I like your quote about your favorite bird.
What a stunning warbler, Eileen! Our warblers tend to be muted colo[u]rs.
How exciting, Eileen! I've never seen one of these - your photo is great!
What a handsome fellow. I have never seen these birds before. That is a great shot Eileen.
Yellow and black is a real winner in the looks stakes!
What a great looking bird.
Cheers - Stewart M
Warblers are amazing and confusing. I love this one.
Cheers from Cottage Country Ontario
Hi Eileen, sorry for my tardiness, been a very busy week...I thought that retirement was supposed to be more down time...whew, not here, run, run, run. Your image is absolutely gorgeous. Have a great long weekend~
OMG...that bird is so beautiful!
Neat bird! I'm not familiar with it.
