CatBird Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Hello! This bird was in my shed this morning, in Central New Hampshire. Any help identifying would be great. Sorry about the crappy second picture... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 That's a female-type Black-throated Blue Warbler. Hope you let it go, usually the best thing to do in these situations is to simply give the bird the opportunity to fly away safely! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatBird Posted July 21, 2020 Author Share Posted July 21, 2020 Oh thank you Benjamin! I have a hard time with the females. And yes of course, I'm not sure how she got in there, but I opened all the windows and let her find her way out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are two generations of feathers on the head: old, gray ones and new, brown ones. Since male BTBWs become blue in their first post-fledging molt, this must be a female. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
