Welcome to a new approach to identifying the Warblers of North America.
Standard field guides include photos or drawings but these static methods of portraying birds do not depict their actual behavior or habitat. Bob Hamblin’s Warbler ID Videos show warblers in their natural surroundings and engaged in natural behavior.
All species accounts includes live action video, range maps and professionally recorded narratives that describe field marks, behavior and habitat. Audio recordings of songs and calls are included for many birds.
Watching Bob’s videos is a proven way to sharpen your birding skills. It’s like being in the field with your binoculars on the bird and a naturalist at your side.
All of the information in our videos has received extensive ornithological review, most notably by Paul Lehman, the former editor of the American Birding Association’s (ABA) Birding magazine.
This book features all 53 species of North American Warblers. The video for each species averages 1 minute 16 seconds in length. The total run time is 66 minutes 50 seconds. The species list includes:
American Redstart • Bay-breasted Warbler • Black-and-white Warbler • Black-throated Blue Warbler • Black-throated Gray Warbler • Black-throated Green Warbler • Blackburnian Warbler • Blackpoll Warbler • Blue-winged Warbler • Canada Warbler • Cape May Warbler • Cerulean Warbler • Chestnut-sided Warbler • Colima Warbler • Common Yellowthroat • Connecticut Warbler • Golden-cheeked Warbler • Golden-winged Warbler • Grace's Warbler • Gray-crowned Yellowthroat • Hermit Warbler • Hooded Warbler • Kentucky Warbler • Kirtland's Warbler • Louisiana Waterthrush • Lucy's Warbler • MacGillivray's Warbler • Magnolia Warbler • Mourning Warbler • Nashville Warbler • Northern Parula • Northern Waterthrush • Olive Warbler • Orange-crowned Warbler • Ovenbird • Painted Redstart • Palm Warbler • Pine Warbler • Prairie Warbler • Prothonotary Warbler • Red-faced Warbler • Swainson's Warbler • Tennessee Warbler • Townsend's Warbler • Tropical Parula • Virginia's Warbler • Wilson’s Warbler • Worm-eating Warbler • Yellow Warbler • Yellow-breasted Chat • Yellow-rumped Warbler • Yellow-throated Warbler • Arctic Warbler (a European Warbler that nests in Alaska)
These videos are great teaching aids. I envy the new birders who will get a head start in their birding careers because of your efforts. Such a fine learning tool…Marv Breece, Washington State Big Year Record Holder, 2001 - 2011
Bob Hamblin is a videographer who has been photographing the birds of North America for more than 30 years. He has traveled over 300,000 miles doing field work in all the U.S. states and most Canadian provinces.
In total, Bob has recorded 622 North American species. His videos often include courtship and territorial displays, nesting behavior and bird interactions with other animals.
Bob has previously sold his work through the ABA with almost 15% of the membership making a purchase.
As a birder who has participated in over 30 Audubon counts, I found Bob’s videos to be an informative and practical way for me to improve my birding skills…Kit Muehlman
