Connor Cochrane Posted April 26 Author Share Posted April 26 (edited) My first photo of a Blue-winged Warbler. @Avery@The Bird Nuts Just checking that this is a pure bird. It seems like it has a yellow wing bar which I'm not sure is normal on pure Blue-winged. Edited April 26 by Connor Cochrane 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avery Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 According to this article by a VT eBird reviewer, this should be eBirded as a hybrid. https://vt.audubon.org/sites/default/files/static_pages/attachments/winged-warblers._how_to_tell_a_pure_species_from_a_hybrid._7-10-19e.pdf "Birders therefore, it seems to us, should continue to use the features and descriptions from the respected birding guides to place their observations in eBird checklists. The two species are clearly defined by a unique collection of plumage characteristics present or absent. These must be accounted for in observations. Any bird deviating from these is thus entered as a hybrid." 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Birding Boy Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 First time seeing a Sora for more than half a second! Usually I just hear them. I laid down on a path and he came right out of the reeds...side note...don't do this if geese regularly hang out on said path.😬 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aaron Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 Was able to get a photo of a black swift the other day! No the best photo, but glad I got some proof that I've actually seen them. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Connor Cochrane Posted May 25 Author Share Posted May 25 Though I've seen them twice distantly when I was in Mexico, I got my first good look at a Rnged Kingfisher in Texas when this bird flew by me. I found a few more photos hidden on my computer, but I can't wait to get the SD card back with the photos on it in three months. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time we went kayaking on the Frio river it was in May, so there were young of both Green, and Ringed, I really enjoyed that. https://ebird.org/checklist/S69389022 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
