Title: A few new ones from last week
Post by: Palo on May 21, 2013, 10:02:01 PM
Hi Folks,

Here are the new birds off my list from the last time I got out birding.  Last week Thursday and Friday at Leslie Spit and Col Sam Smith Park.  Thanks again to my fellow birders who helped me identify some of these.  Enjoy!

Very nice collection!

The flycatcher I believe is a Least Flycatcher, due to the bold eye-ring and big-headed appearance.

Wow, thanks again Thomas!  The differences between the Flycatchers are very subtle. I'll have some more for you a little later. ;)

Upon further review I think the first Vireo is a Warbling Vireo (while the second is Philadelphia) and the first one labeled Tennesse Warbler looks more like a female Black-throated Blue Warbler even if the white spot on the wing is barely visible.

Gorgeous pictures and great capture, it must be a lot of work to chase these little birds!

I am heading there tomorrow and hopeful to see some of these lovely birds :)

Hi Folks, sorry for the very long delay in responding... I'm swamped with work lately.

Hey Thomas, the two shots of the Vireo is the same bird.  I change my exposure constantly and the same bird can look a little different, depending on how the light hits it.  The two Tennessee Warblers however, are two different birds and they do look subtly different.  This is the first time seeing them, so I'll go with what ever you say. ;)  Thanks again.

Thx Helen,  it can be a lot of work but it's a lot of fun!  Hope you had a great day at the Birding Festival last Saturday!  Cheers

Okay, that's why ID'ing by photo is quite a challenge sometimes. In the first picture there is hardly any yellow, while in the second, the yellow is very obvious. I'd go with Philadelphia Vireo then.
