Ty - I took the observation down right away and added one to the Black-throated Blue warbler count I looked hard at my copy of Sibley Birds East, and thought it was an Indigo Bunting because of the very dark head area that contrasts with the lighter blue. I trust you, but please elaborate your correction and distinguish the species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see the color contrast on other Black-throated Blue Warblers I've photographed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The white belly and wing patch would not be present on an Indigo Bunting, and Indigos don't usually have obvious head contrast. They also have thicker bills. I would trade you though, I've seen Indigo Buntings but no Black-throated Blue. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiscalus quiscula Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Luckily I saw my first Wood Warbler in Germany, so I don't have to go all the way to California to see one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you had the time, I would still see it. It’s possibly a once in a lifetime bird for the lower 48. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan P Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 I believe I saw the Wood Warbler in Signal Hill, CA today. I was there from 2:00 - 4:30pm. The bird showed up for about 2 minutes high in a eucalyptus at 180 East Columbia Street. Another birder pointed it out. I got 6 photos of it, but from my photos, I would not be able to positively identify it as a Wood Warbler. Hopefully it will hang around for a while and I will get another chance at it. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
