Northern Parulas are smallish warblers that inhabit the upper canopies of trees in the eastern half of the U.S. Long distance migrants, they commute from N. America to Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean in the winter. As with many songbirds, it is amazing that this small bird flies across the Gulf of Mexico two times every year. Life size, a single plate etching hand colored.
