Join Birding Ecotours for a good chance to find almost every eastern warbler (37 species, most of them dazzlingly colorful!)! Kirtland’s Warbler migrates through this area but is easy to miss and a lot of luck is needed to find it.

Some of the other warblers are also difficult, but the trip is timed to give us the best chance at Connecticut, Mourning, and Canada Warblers, plus other less common species. However, many of the warblers are abundant and we usually see stacks of Blackburnian, Magnolia, Chestnut-sided, Bay-breasted, Prothonotary, Cape May, Black-throated Blue, Black-throated Green, and Black-and-white Warblers, American Redstart, Northern Parula, etc. These are some of America’s brightest, most beautiful birds. We also expect to see a lot of the duller warblers such as Blackpoll Warbler with its orange legs, Tennessee Warbler, Nashville Warbler, etc.

We spend two nights in the hilly extreme south of Ohio on the edge of the Appalachians for some other fantastic warblers including the Vulnerable, beautiful Cerulean Warbler, the unusual Worm-eating Warbler, and some dazzling yellow and black ones in the form of Kentucky and Hooded Warblers. Yellow-breasted Chat is also easiest to find here near the southern state line.

To maximize territory covered and birding time, this trip will start in Cincinnati and conclude in Detroit.
