This Bay-breasted Warbler was found in an alder thicket just after dawn. I was actually trying to get a picture of a Northern Waterthrush that was lurking in the dense cover below.
Sure makes it easy to identify them when they still have that much "bay" on them.
Found this Northern Parula in a clearing a little further down the road.
This Magnolia Warbler is the first of many to pass through the area this fall. Judging by the numbers we see here, they must be a very common bird in the boreal forest of Canada.

During fall migration, Black-throated Green Warblers are one of the most prevalent birds one can expect to see while in the field. Plenty more of these birds to come.
Even from below American Redstarts are easily recognizable due to their unique tail pattern.
Found another Bay-breasted Warbler basking in the early morning sunshine.
It will be interesting to see how many are spotted this fall as there has been spruce budworm outbreak for the last few years in Canada.

Spotted two birds hanging out on a broken branch laying on the side of the road. I was surprised to see a Palm Warbler here this early. The Yellow-rumped Warbler may or may not be a migrant. One thing is for sure, migration is definitely underway.
