The Australian Reed Warbler is plain olive-brown above, with white underparts tinged golden-orange, and has a pale orange-brown eyebrow. It is 15–18cm in length. The sexes are similar. This species is more often heard than seen but will be observed at times climbing among reeds and other water vegetation. It makes short low flights across water. Its preferred habitat is dense vegetation alongside water, especially thick reed beds, as well as tall crops, bamboo thickets and lantana.

"Black-throated Blue Warbler", "Warblers of Nova Scotia", "Nova Scotia", Canada
Breeding males are distinctive with dark reddish-brown cap and sides, along with buffy nape. Two bold white wingbars. Females and fall birds are duller; most show at least some chestnut coloring on sides. Dullest birds are similar to Blackpoll and Pine Warblers; look for streaks on back, well-defined wingbars, and cleaner greenish-yellow head and neck. Prefers conifers during migration, but can be found in any woodland. Breeds in the boreal forest. In most of U.S. , only seen during migration. Winters in Central and South America. Listen carefully for extremely high-pitched, squeaky-wheel song, similar to a fast Black-and-white Warbler.

A bird true to its name, the Pine Warbler is common in many eastern pine forests and is rarely seen away from pines. These yellowish warblers are hard to spot as they move along high branches to prod clumps of needles with their sturdy bills. If you don’t see them, listen for their steady, musical trill, which sounds very like a Chipping Sparrow or Dark-eyed Junco, which are also common piney-woods sounds through much of the year.

One of the smallest warblers, this songbird was originally named the Blue Yellow-backed Warbler. The Northern Parula can be found in two rather distinct populations. The southern population nests mostly in hanging Spanish moss and the northern population uses the old man's beard lichen which looks very similar. Dimensions: 6.5L x 4.5H x 4.5W
The Blackburnian Warbler is one of the most strikingly beautiful warblers. Generally considered birds of the canopy, your best chance to see them at eye level is during migration. Like many warblers, they make their journey from South American wintering grounds to Northeastern US and Canada in the spring. #BlackburnianWarbler

Regent Bowerbird | Sericulus chrysocephalus
Plumage is rather dark overall, grayish above and dull wine-red below; note narrow red eyering and fairly bright yellowish legs. No similar species in most of its range. Skulking and difficult to see well, although when singing in spring may perch atop a bush, the long tail often held slightly cocked. Song is composed of short whistles and harsher rattles; calls are dry and scolding. Breeds in dense scrubby habitats, especially heathland with gorse. Winters in similar habitats, albeit averaging more open and occasionally grassy.
One of the more cooperative warblers is the Wilson's warbler. It tends to forage in more open areas than other warblers, at least in my experience. Not being one to pass up an easy opportunity to photograph any warbler I happily take its photo, because winter will be upon us soon, and these images are all that I will have until next spring.
