LeeKen Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I'm clearing some cards. I came across these bird pics. I didn't recognize the bird the day I took them, and then I forgot that the pictures existed. They aren't the best shots. I thought I would see if any of you can tell me what the bird is before I delete the files. They were taken in Detroit Lakes on 9/3/12. Any ideas?

eyeguy 54 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Mourning or Connecticut Warbler maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonBo Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Conneticut or Nashville Warbler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dbl Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I'm with DonBo, Conneticut or Nashville but leaning toward Conneticut because I don't see a rust patch on the head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeguy 54 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Yepper, gotta go with Conneticut, not enough yellow for Nashville. I was thinking maybe an immature Mourning but looks like it would need more yellow under the beak. Cool little bird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeKen Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Thanks for the help. I looked at all the birds that were mentioned, compared to Sibley and then went online for examples. My current thought is that it is a female or first year Nashville Warbler. The yellow throat was the feature that most led me to the Nashville. Google for images of Nashville warblers and see if you agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eyeguy 54 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Very well could be, so hard to tell. In my book it looks more like the C but who knows. I don't see the yellow throat that the N should have. The M is out, they don't have the white ring around the eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
