Common Yellowthroat

Spring migration of Warbler species at Point Pelee, Ontario, is a must-see for most birders in this part of the world. I believe 42 species have been seen there and the one-day record is 34 species, set in 1979, but which may have been surpassed last year. The Point Pelee Checklist has 42 species on it of which 36 species are seen in most years.
However it is felt that only four regularly breeding warblers are found at Pelee: Yellow Warbler, American Redstart, Common Yellowthroat, and Red-breasted Chat.
Point Pelee is a 'rite of passage' for birders in Ontario. Best wishes if it is on your spring schedule this year
