MWM Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 Wondering if this could be a Philadelphia Vireo, and no idea on the other bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Spencer Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I can't say why but the second bird give me European Starling vibes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birds are cool Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 How big was the bird in the last photo? It looks to me like a Blackburnian Warbler. If you look at the birds face it seems to have orange streaking. The only thing throwing me off is the wings. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanager 101 Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I'd say Philadelphia Vireo and Blackburnian Warbler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IKLland Posted September 13, 2022 Share Posted September 13, 2022 I don’t think the second bird is identifiable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWM Posted September 14, 2022 Author Share Posted September 14, 2022 Thanks all, not sure on the 2nd bird's size, I was thinking blackbird size, but could have been smaller (did see several Blackburnian Warblers in the area). I would think the white wing tips would be a good indicator, unless it was due to leucism? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonestranger Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 No idea why, but my first thought for the second bird was yellow-rumped warbler. My second thought was black and white warbler with lighting artifacts. My third thought was that I probably should have looked at the photos on the computer screen before posting from my phone and embarrassing myself. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that still possible? I left that behind long ago, at least when bodily functions aren't involved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I left that behind long ago, at least when bodily functions aren't involved. Oh yeah, it's still possible. Like bodily functions, mis-IDs come with varying degrees of embarrassment. Guessing the wrong ID while viewing dark photos on a cell phone might be comparable to a quite burp turning into a loud belch kind of embarrassment, something that's quickly forgotten, other mis-IDs can be real stinkers that linger with you for a long time. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiscalus quiscula Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 2 doesn't seem right for European Starling, streaking pattern seems kind of off for Blackburnian. My embarrassing first reaction was Yellow-throated Warbler, which I know only has a few nests upstate, so not that either. Personally, I'd leave it as Passerine sp. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
