cruise791@aol.com Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 I think this is an Orange-crowned Warbler, but not sure since I have never seen one before. Overall olive, but undertail very yellowish. If it had it's crown up, I would have known for sure! Thanks for any help in id'ing...

Charlie Spencer Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Has anyone see the orange crown in the field? Is this one of those birds that got its name from a feature that's only visible when an 18th century naturalist had a dead one in his hands?

Tony Leukering Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 If it were a female, the crown would not have helped you, as only males have orange in the crown. The reason that one doesn't see it frequently, is that it's restricted to the bases of some crown feathers, thus the feathers need to be erected for the color to be visible. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruise791@aol.com Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Thanks Tony - didn't know that about the crown and female. Every bit of info always helps me learn more about birds! Thanks!! Mary Alice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
