Kirtland's Warbler

Kirtland's warbler, currently classified as an endangered species, is rarely seen outside its breedings grounds in Michigan and Wisconsin.  However, every year there is a good chance that one or two accidentals will show up at Magee Marsh during spring migration, particularly during the second week of May.  When they do show up they're usually seen out on the beach, and word of the bird's presence spreads very rapidly.  One of the two individuals reported in 2010 was viewed by literally thousands of birders out on the east beach.  In terms of identification, note that the yellow underside is a noticeably paler shade of yellow than what you'll see on most of the other warblers at Magee, such as the magnolia warbler.
