Hi All, First I would like to thank the 40 birders who took the time to try to ID the mystery bird. For someone who may not have taken a look at the bird, it can be found at http://www.pbase.com/mayhorn/mystery Here is a breakdown of the attempted ID's: Cape May Warbler 29 Orange-crowned Warbler 6 Pine Warbler 1 Yellow Warbler 1 Tennessee Warbler 1 Myrtle Warbler 1 Eastern Phoebe 1 The bird was a 1st winter female Cape May Warbler. Gerry Hawkins, the first person to venture a guess, did a great job of explaining why it is a Cape May. He said, "The bird appears to be an immature Cape May Warbler, which is suggested by the faint dark semi-circular area on the auriculars (suggested only in the third picture), dark streaking from chin to vent, faint pale edges on the wings and a greenish rump." This was not an easy bird to ID. It resembles very little the 1st year female Cape May in Sibley's field guide. I must admit that when I first saw it come down to the stream, it took me a couple of minutes to decide that it was definitely a Cape May. All of the field marks were there, but it's not your typical Cape May. Thanks again and keep your birding skills honed. You never know what new mystery bird might show up here on Compton Mt. that you may be asked to identify. Roger Mayhorn Compton Mt Buchanan County VA
