How about this cute little guy looking right at us.
Can you identify this warbler?
​
The tree it's in might give you a clue.
​
Well, this a Kirkland's Warbler.
​It nests in thick forests of Jack Pine trees, found in the Grayling area.

There are many different kind of warblers.
This one is the rarest songbird in North America and was close to extinction at one time.

Wait, does he have two legs?

Springtime is the best time to look for them.
And it is rare if you spot one.
