VA Birders,
The photo of he small bird that I posted a few days ago at
http://users.mikrotec.com/mayhorn/BIMG/MystBird/MystBirdP1.htm
that thirty-three of you attempted to identify, is a 1st year female Northern
Parula. The gray head with the green back, the yellow on the breast and the arc
over the eye are the key field marks. An adult would also have short wing bars.
Twenty-seven of you got it right. I'm impressed. Many of you know your birds.
Thanks to all of those who took the time make the ID.
Enjoy the birds,
