Stonefeather Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I saw this bird this morning at Prime Hook, Fleetwood Pond, it was in the same tree as a waterthrush. The notched tail and the possible yellow mark is not getting me to the ID. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds are cool Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 It is a warbler sp. Looks almost like some juvenile parulas I have seen. Where is Fleetwood pond? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Spencer Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) Why not immature American Goldfinch? EDIT - added 'American' after @Peromyscus clarified the location. Edited August 3, 2022 by Charlie Spencer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the bill. It seems to long and narrow to be a goldfinch. A goldfinch has the classic triangle shaped beak. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds are cool Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 You could be right though. The picture might make the bill seem longer and narrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A goldfinch has the classic triangle shaped beak. I originally paused at that myself. I think the full facial feathers haven't come in yet, making the bill look a bit longer than normal. Also, we're viewing the bill from below to some extent, an unfamiliar angle. I'm certainly open to other species! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aveschapinas Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 My first reaction was some sort of tanager. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds are cool Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I think the bird is either a pine warbler or American goldfinch. Both birds would have the line going through their eyes. Both would have the wing bar. Both birds have a notched tail. And both live in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonefeather Posted August 3, 2022 Author Share Posted August 3, 2022 IF this was a different time of year I would be looking at a possible Pine Siskin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lonestranger Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Baltimore Oriole was my gut reaction but I'm on my phone so don't pay attention to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds are cool Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I think it is a juvenile pine warbler. They would have the yellow here and there. Have the same bill type, and all the other details. 1 hour ago, Birds are cool said: I think the bird is either a pine warbler or American goldfinch.

Birds are cool Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Some photos of molting pine warblers, and juvenile palm warblers. The bird seems to fit a juvenile pine. https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/158479711#_ga=2.218161881.1969195087.1659354197-220816703.1655990483 https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/365581891#_ga=2.221331544.1969195087.1659354197-220816703.1655990483 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additional photos would really help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caley Thomas 2.0 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 My best guess is Pine Warbler here as well, but can't be very certain of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Passerine sp. or unidentifiable. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanager 101 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 I've take photos of birds that look like this before and my thoughts are Tennessee Warbler based on facial pattern (Doesn't explain the wing bars though) Or a poorly lit fall plumage female Bay-breasted Warbler. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
