There seemed to be a lot of them compared to past years, but the exact timing of migration is never the same year to year. They actually breed in mixed forests at the higher elevations all across the Midwest and Northeast, and will down the Appalachian Mountain chain. Always an interesting bird to see. Sony a6700. Sigma 16-300 Contemporary at 450mm equivalent. Program with birds and wildlife modifications.
