Hi, Carol. Great to have some sightings from that area! A beautiful spot, to
be sure. About the Audubon Warblers, they are migrating through most interior
spots now and thus are found in many types of habitat. When they do settle
down to nest, it is most often high up in a pine tree, at least in the
interior of B.C.
