zdgesb84 Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 Mid-Michigan today. Thanks. 1. Lincoln's? 2. Bay-breasted? 3. A vireo? 4. Not sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frugalbirders Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 1. Lincoln's Sparrow - Nothing else has that crisp black on brown chest pattern. 2. Possibly Bay-breasted, but total lack of any eye stripe is unusual. I'd vote Chestnut-sided Warbler. - c.f.

blackburnian Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 (edited) 2 is definitely Bay-breasted. 3 is a Parula. Pass on 4, although Blackpoll is a possibility. Edited September 12, 2018 by blackburnian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zdgesb84 Posted September 12, 2018 Author Share Posted September 12, 2018 Thanks. Saw Parula and Blackpoll as well so that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted September 12, 2018 Share Posted September 12, 2018 I agree with Lincoln's for 1, definite Bay-breasted for 2, and Northern Parula for 3. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooFly Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Any possibility of #4 being a Flycatcher? I’m 50/50 between a Flycatcher and Blackpool. Would Yellow Belly Flycatcher be in your Range? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psweet Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 You're looking at the bill from below, so if it were a flycatcher it would look distinctly broader than this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Leukering Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Vireos do not have yellow toes (their legs are entirely blue-ish) and also lack tail spots. I think that Ruby-crowned Kinglet is a reasonable possibility for #4, considering the very thin and quite short bill (and overall coloration).
