Abstract:

For birders (bird watchers), getting the chance to sight a female cerulean warbler is what some experts consider a "dream come true" and has become one of the most prized findings of western North Carolina. Currently, the cerulean population has seen a drastic decline since the mid-1960s, making it even more special to get a close look at this "bird of art." The best time to spot a cerulean is in early Spring, between late April and early May.
