Gaucho25 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 I was at Riverside Park this afternoon. So birdy. I used to be pretty confident about pine warblers, but after mistaking a blackpoll for a pine last time, I'm not so sure anymore. 1. Pine warbler 2. Female Pine warbler? 3. Black-throated blue 4. Black-throated blue w/out patch 5 and 6 Blackpoll Warbler Thanks for your insight and patience everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaucho25 Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 @akandula @The Bird Nuts Ahhh - OK. So is it the eye "spectacles" for the Bay Breasted? I thought I saw slight streaking so that's why I went with Pine. And with the last two - I guess I they were Blackpolls because I thought they were drabber looking Pines 🙂 I know that's not a "scientific" method of ID'ing them. I'm not disagreeing with your IDs - I just want to learn what to look for. Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Fall Bay-breasteds and Blackpolls are greener and have bolder wingbars than Pines and they have streaking on the back which Pines lack. There is also a difference in shape and proportions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaucho25 Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 @The Bird Nuts @blackburnian Thank you!!! I looked and compared more thoroughly and yes! The thing that jumped out at me was the streaking on the back. Thank you both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
