According to my ears & my Merlin app, the branches in my trees should have been breaking under the strain of all those warblers, vireos, flycatchers etc. this morning.

Seeing them is another matter entirely. And getting one to pose for more than a millisecond? Good luck.

This Chestnut-sided Warbler entertained me for a few seconds.

Mother’s Day #lifer delight! Spring migration hopes exceeded on a sunny and birdsong-enveloped morning when this Wilson’s Warbler male literally crossed back and forth over our path for a few shaded minutes.

Made a trip to the east side to see if I could find more migratory birds and got another cool warbler. The Black and white warbler. 📷

Yellow-rumped Warblers are complicated (see the Taxonomy section of their Wikipedia article, linked below).

I'm not sure if this is an Audubon's or a hybridized Audubon's × Myrtle because of the swoopy white feathers above the eye that extend past the typical eye ring.

No matter the ID, this was an exciting bird to see; I see Myrtles more often.
