Bay Breasted Warbler...#5... a lifer for me.
I happened to come across this little guy by chance as he was foraging for insects along the side of a river bank.. fortunately for me, he was quite photogenic for a few minutes.
All constructive comments are appreciated. TIA.
A grayish warbler highlighted with rich red-brown and creamy buff in the summer, the Bay-breasted transforms itself in the fall into a mostly green and white warbler with a hint of bay on the flanks. Uncommon during migration, these birds are numerous in the forests of northern Canada, where they specialize on spruce budworms. They nest in low-elevation coniferous forests and forage fairly low in dense foliage on the inner part of the tree. In autumn they closely resemble Blackpoll Warblers, despite looking so unlike them in summer. (Cornell).
