gladner Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Frederick Maryland. Monacacy River. Mid September. I though this under-tail would make it easy for me to ID this bird, but no such luck. Any help greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akandula Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 This is a Magnolia. The tail that’s “dipped in black paint” is diagnostic. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Leukering Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 Tail pattern is absolutely distinctive, with a wide, white band across the middle of the tail. Why did not not think it distinctive? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did not not think it distinctive? Maybe @gladner's field guide doesn't show its undertail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colton V Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 I always use this when it comes to undertails: https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hub/95627/file-322577634-pdf/docs/the_warbler_guide_quick-finders.pdf 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gladner Posted September 24, 2020 Author Share Posted September 24, 2020 Thanks for the link. I have several apps and the net and yet I could not find one that id'd warblers by under tail. Now I have it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those pages come from The Warbler Guide, which is also available as a book or app. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
