winz Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 Found this bird today. I've been hoping to find an Orange-crowned, but I think this is not one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesliemorris Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I think its either a Virginia's or Nashville Warbler. Leaning Virginia's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesliemorris Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Well not sure in Ontario, but it sure looks like the ones (Virginia's) I just photographed in Arizona! I don't think Orange-crowned Warblers have that distinct of an eye ring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bird Nuts Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Looks like a drab Nashville Warbler to me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RCKI would have a broken eye ring, narrower bill, and strong white-over-black wing bars.

(Also, RCKI photos are much blurrier ) The one I have in my backyard seems pretty slow to me. It just creeps along the pine branches. But then I saw a different one that seemed more active, so I don't know what's wrong with the kinglets in my yard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Female Ruby-crowned Kinglets are identical to male Ruby-crowned kinglets, except they lack the ruby crown which is seldom revealed. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winz Posted September 25, 2021 Author Share Posted September 25, 2021 Thanks for the ID everyone. RCKI is just now coming through our area. My trick to getting non blurry photos of them is to notice which direction they are moving when feeding and get ahead and wait for them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
