I returned to the Arboretum last Thursday to see if I could pick out a few migrating warblers. I was happy to see four species.<\/p>\n

First, the American redstart. These birds spend the winter<\/a> in the region from southern Mexico and the Caribbean to northeastern South America.<\/p>\n

\nNext, the yellow warbler, one I had seen before. Yellow warblers migrate<\/a> from Central America and northern South America.<\/p>\n

The yellow-rumped warbler was also not new to me. They may not go as far to over-winter<\/a>, staying within the U.S. or going farther south to Central America or the Caribbean.<\/p>\n

And, finally, I saw a palm warbler. These are some of the first warblers to reach us<\/a> here in Boston. In fact, it was rare to see one so late in the season. Most have already left for their breeding grounds in Canada by this point.<\/p>\n

Among the other birds I saw were this singing wood thrush.<\/p>\n

The great blue heron I saw flying over last time was standing stock-still in one of the ponds near the Rose Garden.<\/p>\n

I found a patch of trilliums on the Oak Path. These trilliums are native wildflowers. The plants have three leaves in a whorled arrangement.<\/p>\n

I think that the pink flowers are also white trillium.<\/p>\n
