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?

Warbler Guy: "Is your Warbler Watch different than Cornell's?"
(Thanks for the question, Sharon D. in Mequon, WI.)
Cornell Lab of Ornithology's "Warbler Watch" monitoring project is admirable and deserves kudos.
Visit:
http://www.birdsource.org/warblers/IDguide.html
Here, you'll see an interactive sight at which you can navigate to learn about and view most New World wood-warblers (Parulidae family members).
That written, Cornell's effort postdates my WarblerWatch blog site here -- and my focus is on answering your questions about wood-warblers and/or highlighting them with essays/articles and photos.
Ultimately, both Warbler Watch efforts attempt to educate people about the beauty and importance
of wood-warblers -- and saving their populations (including the federally endangered Kirtland's Warbler, a male of which is shown in the nearby photograph).
What could be more important conservation efforts?
Thus, I applaud Cornell's Lab of Ornithology staff -- and keep up the good work.

Are any wood-warblers around in the winter?
I'm in Minnesota.

Where do I go to see Kirtland's? Is it only nesting in MI?
