Chestnut-sided warbler, Rondeau Provincial Park, Ontario, Canada, May 5, 2018

Power was out for two days, just going through 900 photos.

Setophaga pensylvanica
The Chestnut-sided Warbler sings two basic song types: one is accented at the end (the pleased-to-MEETCHA song), and the other is not. The accented songs are used primarily to attract a female and decrease in frequency once nesting is well under way. The unaccented songs are used mostly in territory defense and aggressive encounters with other males. Some males sing only unaccented songs, and they are less successful at securing mates than males that sing both songs.

Hi Stew
It has been fairly slow so far.
Windy wet weather can bring the insects down from the tops of the trees and the birds follow making it easier to see them.
Check at the visitor centre they can tell you where the activity is.
