jimbarnett Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Observed this bird today (9.21.21) in Bradenton Fl. No photos but I did get 2 recordings. A Vireo/Warbler sized bird, overall yellow colored (not dull yellow or green). No wing bars, but wings and back were slightly darker. The area above the bill and between the eyes was bright yellow, but there were no yellow or white eye rings (or spectacles). It also had a thin black malar stripe (mustache). Here are the two recordings. 2021-09-21 0752.wav 2021-09-21 0756.wav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meghann Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I feel like I should know this, but I'm blanking. @Liam is the one with the magic ear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avery Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I’m kinda thinking Canada Warbler. description fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hasan Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I agree with Canada Warbler, though a pretty weird song honestly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbarnett Posted September 22, 2021 Author Share Posted September 22, 2021 Definitely NOT a Canada Warbler - No eye ring, wings and back weren't that dark, no streaks on breast. And this bird have a malar stripe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liam Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 Sounds like a Black-fronted Canary to me. They have a similar song and are often kept as a caged bird and released or escaped. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbarnett Posted September 23, 2021 Author Share Posted September 23, 2021 Did you mean "Yellow-fronted Canary"? I look at pics of the Yellow-fronted Canary, but that's not what I saw. Yellow did not extend over the eyes, and the bill wasn't that thick. This bird was more vireo-like than finch-like. Thanks for everyone's opinions, I do appreciate them. Looks like this will be the dreaded "bird sp" ID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't find anything on Black-fronted Canary so I am guessing it's a typo/brainfart for one of the other Canaries, maybe? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 My apologies, I meant Yellow-fronted Canary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
