Townsend's Warbler

Northern California have tons of warblers. So far I have seen Wilson's Warblers, Yellow-Rumped Warblers, and Townsend's Warblers. The Townsend's Warblers are distinguishable by their raccoon eyes.

These guys are very shy. I saw them several times before I could ever capture a picture. The picture above was the only picture that I captured for six months. Last week, one stayed still long enough for me to capture more than one picture!

The males have a black throat.

They like to hang out in conifers and use moss to line their nests.

I like their quick and careful movements.
