Prairie Warblers
are
a delight to see and to hear. The Prairie's song,
an ascending buzzy trill,
is distinctive, and instills a thrill of expectation of seeing
this beauty. This was early May with few leaves on the
trees, so finding him was easy this time. He was
at the shrubby edge of a meadow, typical habitat for this
species.
Listen to his buzzy trill. Listen, also, for
the quiet song of a Field Sparrow in the background.
Prairie males are brighter and more
boldly marked than females, but both are a beautiful yellow
below and olive above. Watch for the rufous patch
on the back of this male when he turns around.
