    This guy was traveling with Blackpoll Warblers and they were all feeding in a pear tree in my back yard. Although they are more common in my yard than the Blackpoll, this is the first sighting for me this year.

    An uncommon visitor to NH during the summer, it was even more uncommon in winter. This bird wintered feeding on flies in the wrack line along the shore at Odiorne Point State Park and stayed well into the spring setting all kinds of bird records including most photographed.
