    Orange-crowned Warbler / Leiothlypis celata

    : mid-late May and late Sep-late Oct, with from mid Sep and to early Dec. Prefers open areas with weeds and low shrubs and places where migrants gather

    : with six widely spaced records mid Dec-late Mar, the most Dec 2-14, 2024 in Mount Desert. At least three spent multiple weeks at feeding stations.

    Miscellany: Probably under reported, especially in fall, when passage comes at a time when few observers are in the field. Late Aug-early Sep records need to rule out the somewhat similar Tennessee Warbler.
