This first fall male already has thin wisps of chestnut streaks. The alula is brownish which is more easily seen in other views and in large. The bill like for most fall warblers is lighter in color than a spring male. This is not a common migrant nor even a common breeder in in-land Georgia but is very prolific across most of the country.

Michigan. 5/25/2017.
This warbler species is very common across the country but despite all the breeding species of warblers that can be found in Georgia, this is an uncommon breeder here. They can be seen in migration both spring and fall but are not that common thru the Atlanta area. I had two this fall in the Atlanta area including one bathing in the water feature at Centennial Olympic Park downtown. It was a toss-up on which to post for my 34th eastern warbler species photographed in 2017 but I went with this one from my Michigan trip.
Interesting to try to understand why this image got so few views, and it made me think a bit on the process that occurs after an image is posted.
Views are generally not image dependent like favs and comments are unless the image makes Exp1ore. Since I almost always don't place my images into other groups views are generally consistent in number from image to image over the 1st 48 hours after posting allowing for some variance due to the day of the week or some event that ramps down flickr volume overall. So I noticed my wording in the paragraph above originally included #34 and it was higlighted in blue color, and I realized it was some sort of tag, and likely prevented the image from going into the normal queue that we see when we click on 'people' to view our contacts' images. I changed the 34 wording to as it now appears and the blue color went away, but the image was posted too long ago to appear in the queue in a location where it would get more views. At least that is what appeared to happen with this image. If anyone can shed more light on that subject please do. Thanks.
