Setophaga fusca
This brilliantly colored male was feeding on caterpillars in the apple trees at Heald Orchard Conservation land on a stopover during his migration north to the conifer forests.

Thanks Geoffrey. I had to get out often while the migration was in full swing for a couple weeks, and it paid off nicely.
Amazing set of eastern warbler photos Tom15, keep them coming!
Thanks for the nice comment littlemsavery.
Gorgeous photos!!
You got that right kd, nature cannot be outdone! Every time I got out in the field, there's something new, an insect I haven't seen before a different behavior or an array of other things.
Exactly Tom15! As an artist, nature is certainly my first port of call for inspiration! Nature cannot be outdone...but it can inspire and leave us in awe.
Thanks Kate.
Nice pics!
Congrats Ashley on your lifers! Looking forward to seeing your photos, and I bet they're very nice shots!
I saw one today! No photos, he was too far away, but got Magnolia and Canada too with terrible photos of each, you'll see in a little bit ;)
Thanks Ann and Jamie. These little birds are easy to miss, especially if they aren't calling.
awsome photo! I was looking but I didn't see one this year!
Beautiful photos!
Thanks, though I'll be happy with just one. Especially if I can get pictures half as good as these!
Thanks kd. Now you know where artists get their inspirations, from nature:-)
Such a beautiful birds and photos! Nature's artistry is certainly on show there.
Good luck with the Blackburnian and the other lifers. I hope you find them all:-)
This seems like a great place to go, might take me more than a day to drive there though haha. I'm going to two places, both of which had several lifers for me reported today. One of which was this guy :)
Ashley, I'll meet you at the orchard:-) I'll be there again in the morning before work and see what else I can find.
Oh my gosh, Tom, I absolutely love this series! I'm headed out tomorrow and this is my target bird, I think they are so pretty!
