Abbotsford June 2, 2024 - MacGillivray's, etc

[Randy]

This morning before the rain at my place I was surprised to hear a MacGillivray's Warbler singing. I eventually found it and got a very poor photo. I've had this species at my place a few times before but this is the first time I've had one singing.

I was also pleased to see a young eagle in the eagle's nest:

I had 33 species with highlights including:

FOY Yellow Warbler
3 Warbling Vireos
4 Evening Grosbeaks flying over

Here's the checklist with a recording of the Macgillivray's Warbler singing if anyone is interested:
