This blog post, the first of three, are photos made this April and May of songbirds that do not breed in Pennsylvania.  Their migration path takes them through Pennsylvania on the way to their breeding ground up north.  It is amazing how far these little birds travel each year.  With each photo, I will include a little information from the National Audubon Society about where they spend their summer and winter.

The Bay-breasted Warbler breeds from northeastern British Columbia east to Maritime Provinces and south to northern Great Lakes region and northern New England. Winters in tropics.
