Miscellany: A powerful storm worked its way up the Atlantic Coast in the last days of Oct 2017, in the process entrained many migrants on their way to the West Indies and Northern South America. A good number of these, including dozens of Yellow-throated Warblers, were deposited when the storm made landfall in eastern Nova Scotia. Over the following days, Yellow-throateds occurred along the Maine Coast as the Nova Scotia waifs made their way back south again. The Schoodic bird and another the same day on Deer Isle were part of this repatriation.
All the images above appear to show the more western race "albilora" (all white eyebrow) rather than than the southeastern race "dominica" (yellow eyebrow between the bill and the eye, then white)
