I was too busy trying to keep track of the bird to memorize the individual field marks. Streaking looked light in the field, definitely dark in photos.ĭid not get a good look at the tail. Clean belly, dark streaks under the yellow spots. Did not notice anything odd about the wings.īreast, Belly, Flanks, Under Tail Coverts Length about equivalent as from the back of the eye to the base of the bill.Īt least one wing bar visible in photos. No discernable supercilium.īill dark and thin. Classic warbler shape, with a thin, warbler bill.ĭark head, with a yellow throat. I did not think to look at the tail, but nothing stood out as odd on this bird, compared to a YRWA (Myrtle).Ī little larger than the nearby CORE, but not by much. Then it flew out of the tree and into the woods with the Redpolls. It was drier, lacking the sweet tone of the YRWA (Myrtle). The call was similar to the "chut" call made by YRWA's (Myrtle), but was different. Phishing brought it in closer for a second or two, which is when it chirped. It then started flitting quickly through the trees, and I was unable to get more shots. In the photos, you can see the yellow breast spots, yellow throat patch, and subtle eye arcs. The bird was backlit by indirect sunlight, which was sub-par, but better than backlit from direct sun. After a brief pause of disbelief, I raised my camera to get some shots of it. I first noticed the yellow breast spots and light side streaking, like a drab fall YRWA (Myrtle). When I saw the bird fly into the birches as I was scanning the Redpolls, I immediately saw it was a small passerine, with a warbler shape. Verbal Narrative & Description of Observation The call was not the Myrtle "chut", this call was drier and snappier. Only heard once, but similar to YRWA (Myrtle). Pine Grosbeaks nearby in ornamental trees. First seen as a small bird flitting through bushes on the side of the walkway. Best views and pictures taken in birch trees. I certify that that attachments included with this report were captured during this observation event.įlew into a flock of Common Redpolls. Very experienced with YRWA (Myrtle) in the field, in-hand, and auditory experience.
