millipede Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Want to double check one bird and get an idea on another... So, this has to be a solitary sandpiper... that's what I called it in the field and I can't really see it being something else... but... the bill... not sure about the color and, it seems thin. Even thinner in another photo... and then this... tennessee warbler? or a vireo? It was straight up so I didn't get very good views. I feel like I saw some sort of eye-line(something) that would suggest one of the above possibilities... This pic does seem to show a different, pretty obvious, between the face/cheeks and throat.

chipperatl Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I think you have some chromatic aberration happening with the SOSA. Notice the red on the chest and on the leg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millipede Posted April 27 Author Share Posted April 27 23 hours ago, blackburnian said: 1. Yes 2. Warbling Vireo what feature here specifically makes it a warbling vireo? There are a few vireos that are tricky for me unless I have just the right angles... or they're singing... and then the tennessee warbler can look similar. What do I need to be looking at here? Maybe it will help me later on. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thick bill rules out Tennessee warbler. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
