gpoole Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Took a couple of bad pictures of this bird in the fog this morning at a seaside beach in Nova Scotia. I first thought it was a Kinglet but once on a larger screen, I have my doubts. It was smaller than the American Goldfinch that it was parked beside and has two prominent wing bars and a fairly strong eyering. Can anyone help?..........Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipperatl Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I'm going with HY Chestnut-sided Warbler. Green top, grey sides and the big eye-ring along with the strong wing bars. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avery Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Just now, Seanbirds said: Why not Blue-headed Vireo? No spectacles, gray cheeks. Here’s a HY CSWA that hit our front door a few years ago (it was fine) 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpoole Posted August 11, 2021 Author Share Posted August 11, 2021 Bang on folks! Thanks so much for the direction. There is picture on page 241 of the Warbler Guide of a one year old fall female that is the spittin' image of this bird. Don't think I'd have gotten there without your help. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
