IKLland Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 There’s been one at this location for a few days. I saw it after sunset( why does that always happen to me?) and my iso was way up. I’m hoping based on the under tail pattern, we can confirm it. In person( without a blurry photo), it had a grayish head. thanks today Orange County, Ca. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Looks spot on for a Maggie. Gray head, yellow breast, streak on flank, tail dipped in black paint. : ) 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, there’s been a lot of rarity’s coming through my county that I’ve been chasing. I still haven’t had a self found rarity yet, though. Unfortunately.

I've been chasing a lot lately as well! Sadly, none of it has been in my county. I think all the east coast rarities have purposely been avoiding Sacramento!

Birding Boy Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Could you guys at least send a couple western warblers over here?!?! I’d very much like a Black-throated Gray, but I understand if it has to be a Townsend’s. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere near Michigan!!! Seriously though, that's awesome, I didn't hear about that. Did you get to see either of them? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Townsends are uncommon ( in my experience), and black throated gray and fairly common( in my experience. ) this is my experience in my area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black-throated Gray sing a LOT during the spring so I have a much easier time finding them than Townsend’s, but I get Townsend’s at my suet feeder all winter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
