Warblers of Haiti

Warblers are known for both migrating and being difficult to identify.  We both spend our winters in Haiti, so I get to see many of these beautiful little birds.  There’s 3 pages of small yellow birds in the Haiti field guide.  But none of the illustrations show the most common view – the underside of the bird – as seen in these photos of a prairie warbler right outside my house in Caiman (central plateau).  The Warbler Guide (2013 Princeton Univ.) has solved that problem, with many views of the birds, comparison photos, and sonograms.  It’s also available in Kindle and as an app.
