okbirder Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Not sure what this is. Pictures taken today in Elkhart in SW Kansas. My first thought was Worm-eating Warbler when I saw it through binoculars. I met some other birders who said they saw a WEW as well. Sorry about the low quality pics. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark5 Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 The tail looks too long for a WEWA. I do not have a good suggestion though. Maybe Chipping Sparrow? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 Would one of y'all that recognizes warbler tail patterns take a look at the second photo? Until we hear back on that field mark, I like @Mark5's CHSP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 First off, that tail is way to long for WEWA, really for any warbler. Secondly take a look at the bill, it is a Sparrow's bill. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avery Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Worm-eating Warbler is one of only two US warblers that have streaked UnTCs, the other being Black-and-white. I agree with Chipping Sparrow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
