Gaucho25 Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 Happy Fall migration everyone. I went birding today in Central Park. Took a lot of blurry photos ? A couple stumpers here. I tried my best to narrow down my hunches. Photos 1 and 2: Either a lincoln or sparrow. Photo 3: Female Pine? Photo 4. Cape May Warbler- basing it on streaks and yellow tone. It perched right above me! Photo 5: Song Sparrow? Photo 6: Pine Warbler Thank you so much for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benjamin Posted October 3, 2020 Share Posted October 3, 2020 The last bird looks like a Pine Warbler-- note the strong wingbars and the fact that the bird is on the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Leukering Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 As with Cape May, there's no law that prohibits Blackpolls from being on the ground: https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/162689231#_ga=2.103594242.30951479.1599863273-1184313056.1549327880 https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/63693811#_ga=2.103594242.30951479.1599863273-1184313056.1549327880 https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/98151881#_ga=2.103594242.30951479.1599863273-1184313056.1549327880 In the cropped and enlarged pic, note extensive white tips to primaries and Blackpoll head pattern and color (Blackpoll being greener than Pine) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
