I’ve always been a warbler fan, celebrating every opportunity that comes my way for seeing these colorful, energetic feathered sprites. On May 9, the first indigo bunting (a male) showed up on at my home. A day later, I hosted a Baltimore oriole (a rare visitor at my home) and an even rarer visitor with a singing (more like caterwauling) male yellow-breasted chat. I’ve had only one of these birds in the yard since I began birding in the mid-1990s.

Watching birds offers a variety of benefits to the watcher. The activity offers solace and therapy, hope and optimism.

The website www.caringcardinals.com is dedicated to the spiritual symbolism that has come to be associated with a common bird known as the Northern cardinal.

I’m thinking that most people have probably heard of a “gaggle” of geese or a “murder” of crows as a way to describe a flock of these particular birds. Warblers also have their collective names. A flock of warblers is often referred to as a bouquet, a confusion, a fall, a cord or a wrench of warblers, according to the Birdorable Blog. I personally like “wrench” of warblers.
