Black-throated Gray Warbler

Status Five records. A male foraging in shrubby growth on Sable Island on 9 May 1966 was closely observed by Christel and Norman Bell. Another male came to their window feeder the next year on 1 May. A young male was found on Seal Island on 10 October 1972 by Jean Boulva and Ian A. McLaren, and photographed by Boulva for a first confirmed record. A bird was seen briefly on Brier Island on 1 September 1975 by Lise and Shirley Cohrs. One discovered and photographed by Ian A. McLaren in the south end of Halifax on 24 November 1984 was later seen by many observers until its disappearance in late December.

Remarks This far-western warbler, whose name is aptly descriptive, has occurred occasionally in the eastern United States and Canada, in both spring and fall.
