Title: Golden winged warbler
Post by: mr.sharp-photo on May 11, 2014, 12:32:51 PM

This was spotted by many birders at the Wet Woods.
Instead of black markings, though, it is grey.

Anyways, someone chime in if it's misidentified.

Very nice.  It looks like the female Golden winged.

Good shot and great find.  We didn't get that one earlier in the morning there in the woods.  We left just before 10:00AM.

Can you describe roughly where the bird was seen?  Example, closer to the parking lot entrance or the west end of the wet woods nearer the road to the marina.  I know birds fly but any tip would help as I have limited mobility.  Thanks.
