Field Notes

Description:

Breeding male with black face and chestnut head.

Habitat:

A large warbler of the northern spruce forests, the Bay-breasted Warbler benefits from spruce budworm outbreaks when the caterpillars provide abundant food. Spraying to control the destructive outbreaks may have reduced populations of this warbler.

Notes:

This guy stopped over during migration North. A rare sighting.
