Black Flies:

On cooler, breezy days they are not too bad yet.
However, in some sheltered locations, on warmer, cloudy days, they have been numerous. Be prepared!
Birders seeking warblers and other birds here are advised to get in the field early in the morning, when black flies are less active in the cool temperatures.

Continued bird sightings there include grey jay, boreal chickadee, black-backed woodpecker, spruce grouse, red crossbill, etc - northern species.
