Title: Type of Warbler
Post by: takkatakka on October 24, 2014, 08:51:47 PM

If someone could help identify this warbler it would be greatly appreciated.

We found this bird in a small park in Markham.

Thanks.

Looks to me like a Chestnut-sided Warbler. The yellow crown and back, bold eye ring, white throat and bright wing bars suggest either a fall female or 1st year male. Much different from the spring males! A beautiful bird.

Thank you.  I would never have guessed it.

Thanks
