Kirtland's Warbler? N. IL 5/10/22 (1 Viewer)

[jrcummins84]

Hey All, I live in Northern Illinois about halfway between the cities of Chicago and Rockford.

I was birding the Kishwaukee Creek near my home and saw this warbler. I had never seen one before, and looked around online for an answer. The closest visual I saw was the Kirtlands Warbler, it seems to have a very restricted range, but there is one north of me.

Habitat: Ponds, Large Creek, Forest with thick brush, wetlands and reeds.

I'm a bit rusty on my North American birds but that looks like a Magnolia Warbler to me.
