I was having a grand time watching 2 Chickadees flying back and forth from my
feeder yesterday, but something at the back fenceline caught my eye. I grabbed
my binoculars and saw a bird flying around the pokeweed and various bushes. It
was a yellow/olive type color across the back, making me think female goldfinch
at first, but I swear I did not see the black and white wings. When I finally
looked at the bird through my binocs, I saw a dark cap on its head, not
extending to the eye like a male goldfinch. And as always, the stinker didn't
stick around long enough for me to get a really good look. From what I saw, I'm
wanting to prelim ID as a Wilson's Warbler...what do you all think? This would
definitely be a first for me if it is!
