Yesterday I watched a Tennessee warbler sing and forage in a blooming apple tree at my folks farm, and it was still around this morning. However, earlier this am on my walk up Taber Hill in Stowe, I watched 4 Tennessee warblers foraging in a blooming apple tree, with a 5th individual singing behind me. And before I came upon this apple tree, I had already heard at least 3 different individuals singing.
When I was in Nicaragua in Feb 2013, with North Branch Nature Center/Planting Hope trip, I watched 30 Tennessee warblers foraging and chipping away in a fruiting, shrubby tangle of vegetation in a shade grown coffee plantation. Was so surprised to see this many “same species" warbler in one place.
Is this unique to Tennessee Warblers? Do they migrate in groups? I find it all so interesting.
