Got wood-warbler questions? If so, I have answers for you. I'm Daniel Edelstein — biologist, birding guide, birding instructor (www.warblerwatch.com and danieledelstein@att.net) — who ponders: Are there any wonders in our world more fascinating than the elegant beauty of wood-warblers?

Wilson's Warbler (Wilsonia pusilla chryseola)

MacGillivray's Warbler

Among songbird species returning to the Bay Area (CA) for the breeding season, MacGillivray's Warbler is an annual nester that is typically never common (ala the Yellow Warbler, Wilson's Warbler, and Orange-crowned Warbler -- all of which have a presence that is usually more obvious as breeders in the Bay Area. That is to say, McGillivray's is indeed present as a breeder, but only locally common in suitable habitat, such as within Mitchell Canyon in the Clayton/Walnut Creek-based Mt. Diablo State Park.)
