Subject: [AZNMbirds] 'Arizona Birds'--November species of the month
October 31, 2026

Eastern wood-warblers casually visit Arizona, many in the fall when their
identification can be confusing. Arizona Birds
<https://url.usb.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/tSQAC2GljPcWrmzMohnf3ws5-DpC?<domain...>, the online journal of the Arizona
Field Ornithologists, is featuring one of these species--Bay-breasted
Warbler
<https://url.usb.m.mimecastprotect.com/s/j4LUC3Ymkgfo34znYsqhZEsQn1fW?<domain...>--as
its November 'species of the month'. This feature has an excellent photo by
Bill Scott and good tips on identification. While you're checking it out,
you may want to look at the October 2025 'species of the month' on
Blackburnian
Warbler

.

If you haven't read them yet, you should also take a look at articles on 20
years of counting raptors at Santa Cruz Flats

and birds of Vekol Valley

Maricopa County.
