Long Distance Traveler

I forgot about this photo I made a few months ago, so decided to post it now.

The Yellow Warblers have migrated already, traveling long distances. They breed in central and northern North America and head south to spend the winter in Central America and northern South America. Yellow Warblers from eastern North America fly across the Gulf of Mexico to their destination nonstop, while some take an overland route around the Gulf. Amazing journey for such a little bird.

A Cool Fact about the Yellow Warbler from "All About Birds" https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Yellow_Warbler/lifehistory):

•"Life can be dangerous for a small bird. Yellow Warblers have occasionally been found caught in the strands of an orb weaver spider’s web."

Life is dangerous for little birds like the Yellow Warbler.
