Parula

Written By Michale Glennon

A mixed media depiction of the pendent nest of a Northern parula warbler (Setophaga americana). We are fortunate to be supported by Northern New York Audubon to highlight birds as part of the Wool and Water project. Northern parulas often build a hanging nest from Usnea, a genus of lichens often referred to as old man’s beard or beard moss.
