BirderDH Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Photos taken Sunday in Southern Ontario Canada. Not sure is the middle one a Warbler or a Flycatcher? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egosnell2002 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 1. Female Canada Warbler 2. Eastern Wood pewee (a species of flycatcher) 3. Chestnut-sided warbler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bird Nuts Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 The first looks better for a Magnolia Warbler (black bill, no white eyering). I agree with the others (except Wood-Pewee has a hyphen ). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HamRHead Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Any other shots of the first bird? I agree with 2 and 3 including the hyphen. Undecided on bird 1. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millipede Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 I'm not going to jump in and give an ID on the warbler but the bird nuts are right about it not being a canada. There should be an eye-ring for that. And I just checked the field guide and it seems the leg color would be different on a canada. The young magnolia(earlier than May according to the book) could look sort of like that with something of a line across the throat(which is what probably prompted the canada ID in the first place) I'm going by drawings in Sibley's 1st ed. so, I'm sure things can be variable. A young magnolia(in the book) should have more marks on it I'd think but, I think it's in transition perhaps. The line around the neck is still present but the bill is darkening already and, the streaks should come in provided that's what it is. Anyway, that's my take on it. I think in the field I would have been REALLY confused if that was my photo, and probably would have posted it here to check as well. :) They're all fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After seeing your initial response and then looking back, I saw that collar and thought it could be a faint "necklace" like you'd see on a Canada and didn't take another look at the bird. Once the other thoughts came in from others I was like... "oh yeah..." Try not to overwork your brain and/or take lots of good birding breaks to center yourself. :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
