Golden-winged Warbler I

Golden-winged Warbler I

One of my all time favorite Warblers has to be the elusive and rare (at least in NJ) Golden-winged (GWWA). Incredibly small and remarkably agile, the bird can be right on top of me and still invisible. It is also a bird whose hunt for will bring me at least a dozen ticks. Today I counted 14. And yet, seeing this bird is worth every one of them.

I did not notice it in the field, but this bird has three bands. I do not have any shots where I can read the ID's which is a shame. I would love to know more about its travels.
