Title: Orange Crowned Warbler
Post by: Joe on August 28, 2008, 04:51:33 PM

An Orange Crowned Warbler from the Birch tree in the front yard.  I think it's a OCW.  I've been known to be wrong (lol)

Title: Orange-crowned Warbler - not

Bird in the photo appears to be a Tennessee Warbler.

Orange-crowned Warblers are very, very rarely seen in August in our area. I know of none. Look for them at the soonest after Sept. 15th.

Thanks, Norm.
Well, Tennessee was my other thought.  As I said, I've been known to be wrong:)

No worries Joe...thanks to Norm and other experts(enthusiasts) that offer their knowledge we all learn. I dont even try fall warblers ....I watch em in spring when I have a fighting chance to ID them  :D   Fall Im a raptorman that looks at warblers if they land beside him. Or are in the tallons of a Sharpie.
