Cerulean warbler,

Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, May 10, 2018.


One of my favourite warblers, love the colour.
Setophaga cerulea
The female Cerulean Warbler has an unusual way of leaving a nest after sitting on it a while. Some people call it "bungee-jumping." She drops from the side of the nest, keeping her wings folded to her sides, and opens her wings to fly only when she is well below the nest.
