Black-throated Blue Warblers breed in the northeastern US and along southern Canada and the northern US as far west as Manitoba and Minnesota. The male is unmistakable with his rich blue back and black throat and sides. Females have none of the male's color or pattern, but both share a white spot along the lower edge of the folded wing. This "pocket handkerchief" is also a diagnostic field mark for both males and females in all plumages. This beautiful male was photographed during fall migration at Cape May, New Jersey. Photo taken with a 300mm f4.5 Nikkor ED lens on Kodachrome 64 film. (Date: September 1983)

Black-throated Green Warblers are common breeding birds of coniferous and mixed woodlands in the northeastern US, and eastern and southcentral Canada.
