Setophaga ruticilla
I was transported to the tropics upon seeing this bird! What a beautiful flame of life after a long winter and cold early spring.
Mixed coniferous/deciduous woodland with shrubs and some small creeks.
Lifer!

Thank you so much, Fyn! I hope they arrive in Maine quickly!
Nice! They should be here soon.
Sounds like a lovely day, Kathleen, especially the Western Tanager!!
Yes, it is so nice when the breeding birds return from the tropics! We have Warbling Vireo, Western Tanager and Yellow-rumped Warblers singing today here! I love Spring!
