MacGillivray's
Warblers pass through our area in the early spring (usually gone by
the end of April) and then again in fall (usually September).
These are perhaps one of the hardest warblers to spot (shy of
Virginia's), since they are often well-hidden in the underbrush. Look
for them in riparian tangles and bushes, both in yards and in the
country. Sometimes confused with Nashville Warblers, look for the
complete grey hood over the face & chin--if it has a yellow
chin, it's a Nashville Warbler.
