flightman Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 At Jones Beach, NY, today, there were a few species of warbler feeding in flowering shrubs (maybe Beach Plums). I saw Northern Parulas, Yellow Warblers, and a male Wilson's Warbler. Other birders also saw a Nashville Warbler. I took these 2 shots 28 seconds apart and I'm not certain they show the same bird. The head appears to be darker, more olive, than the breast. Is it a female Yellow Warbler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 This is an oriole (note the large, pointy bill), probably a female Baltimore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightman Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 Thanks, I didn't even think of orioles. I've seen some males around lately but this is my first shot of a female. My shots of males were even more obstructed by foliage as they were higher in trees. I was also lucky to get my first shots of Rose-breasted Grosbeaks (male and female) today in the same shrubs.
