Description
The Cape May Warbler (Setophaga tigrina), a member of the family Parulidae, breeds in boreal coniferous forests in Canada and migrates south mostly through the eastern half of the United States, and to the Caribbean region. Its plumage is very striking with a yellow breast streaked with black, chestnut ear patches, yellow rump, and white wing patches; female and immature birds are less colorful. This medium sized warbler measures about 5 inches in length and about 0.39 ounces in weight. Preferred habitat for breeding is in mature coniferous forest with spruce and balsam fir, and for migration is in a variety of forest, scrub, thicket, and woodlands. The preferred diet includes a variety of invertebrates, fruit, and nectars.
This colorful male Cape May Warbler perched on the branch of a spruce tree while foraging was photographed at the Tower Grove Park, in St. Louis, Missouri on 5-3-2021. I used a Nikon D850 camera body and a Nikon 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR telephoto lens to capture this image. Settings: 1/1000, f/7.1, ISO 3200. Tower Grove Park covers 289 acres and was built in 1889.
I am honored that my photograph was featured in the Fine Art America groups:
