Chris, Cool - just within the past week here in Churchill, Manitoba, the warblers have started flight calling again with considerable frequency (especially Yellow, Blackpoll, Yellow-rumped, and Orange-crowned), even though it seems that most of the birds calling are locals still on territories. During spring migration (which this year extended until the third week of June here for some warblers), Yellow/ Blackpoll Warbler flight calls are one of the signature sounds of Churchill, but they go very quiet during nesting (as in down south).

It's about that time for us, here in upstate New York, to start seeing the first movements of Yellow Warblers, southbound. Good birding!
