Blue-winged
Golden-winged Hybrid Warbler Fledgling
Possible 1st Generation Brewster's male
This fledgling, and the one on the following pages, were being fed by an adult
male Blue-winged Warbler. They were feeding in thick
vines (Virgin Bower - Clematis Virginiana). The parent bird would feed
in the trees, then drop into the vines to feed the young.
I took these photos over a period of about 45 minutes, while standing very
still. At times the birds were within two or three feet
of me. Sometimes they were so close the camera wouldn't focus.
