[nysbirds-l] Photos of Yellow-rumped (Audubon's and Myrtle) Warblers
To further the discussion of the Audubon's Warbler at Sunken Meadow State Park (SMSP) found by Shai Mitra and Pat Lindsay, I have posted six pictures of Yellow-rumped Warbler, three pictures of various age/sex classes of Myrtle Warbler, and three of various age/sex classes of Audubon's Warbler. The last picture of Audubon's Warbler, possibly an immature female, is the bird found at SMSP, the other two are from Arizona. On all three Myrtle Warblers (the first three pictures), note the white throat patch extending onto the side of the neck, while all three Audubon's Warblers have a restricted throat patch and a nonexistent, or very vague, supercillium. Unfortunately, my photo of the Audubon's Warbler at SMSP is overexposed, so the light yellow wash on the throat is not visible.
