Re: [cayugabirds-l] bay-breasted vs blackpoll

Jared,
These are indeed both typical Bay-breasted, in case you had any doubts.
Undertail color seems to be pretty variable, as is the intensity of yellow
on the underparts, as in most fall warblers and vireos.

I believe that’s a Pine Warbler, per the 2 white wing bars & broken eye line.

[cayugabirds-l] bay-breasted vs blackpoll

2019-09-08 Thread Jared Dawson 
Hi, I had three warblers at the same time this morning in yew and white cedar 
trees, from a distance all appearing yellowish with obvious white wing bars. 
One I could see was dipping its tail a bit. I ran and got my camera and was 
able to photograph two of them. I’m a western birder so have only a few 
experiences of eastern fall birding. The two birds both look good for 
Bay-breasted, especially the feet and legs appearing dark gray, but on one the 
undertail coverts are quite white (the other, lighter bird, had light buffy 
coverts, not shown well in photos). Is this a variable character? I’ve uploaded 
several photos to eBird, see below. Any comments are welcome.
Jared Dawson, Trumansburg

ps, I have not detected the summering family of Red-headed Woodpeckers since 
the 4th of September, despite being in my yard a lot of time since that date...
