Hi! My husband and I were up on our land on the Snake River near Pine City this weekend, and saw a bird, possibly a warbler, that I'm hoping you can help us identify.
In addition to yellow-rumped warblers, American redstarts, tree swallows, an indigo bunting, rose-breasted grosbeak (both sexes) and a scarlet tanager, we saw a small, warbler sized bird that was brilliant yellow-orange in color -- between the color of a goldfinch and the orange on a Baltimore oriole. We couldn't get binoculars on it to get a close look, but it didn't seem to have black or gray wings -- pretty much an all-over color. It was hanging out with warblers, was roughly the same size (could have been a bit larger) and had the same flight patterns. It was mostly around the edge of the water in the trees or in the grasses. Any ideas? Thanks! Meta Gaertnier 108 Maddaus Lane Golden Valley, MN 55416 763-374-5444 [email protected]
