Dendroica castanea
Breeding male with black face and chestnut head.
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.
This guy stopped over during migration North. A rare sighting.
