Underbirdy

Pine Warbler Setophaga pinus

Mont-Saint-Bruno, May 12, 2021

  Had a quick muck around Mont-Saint-Bruno yesterday with the Scottsman. While the flying bebites and the leaves were in near summer form, it was still relatively underbirdy, with five species of warbler noted among 31 total bird species.

  Continuing with the trend of a screwy late spring, when we visited the same spot almost exactly three years ago, there were 12 species of warbler (and 44 species overall).

  A breeding-plumaged male Pine Warbler showed well. It was a stunner, especially when compared with the 1st year female from the previous post. I can see how, given quick looks, it can be a confusion species with Yellow-throated Vireo.
