Resin, can you confirm this as a female MacGillivary's Warbler? The photo is not very good, but I could barely see the bird through the brush, for one quick shot. MacGillivary's is only an accidental in this area.
CLOSED: Is this a female MacGillivray's Warbler?
I'm still sorting today's picture, after stumbling into a very large, mixed flock, of migrants, moving through a heavily wooded area. This is probably the same bird, but I can't be sure. I believe I saw at least 9 different species in less then ten minutes, and then suddenly they were all gone - not a bird in sight!
Yep, female / juvenile MacGillivray's Warbler.
Mourning can be eliminated (no white eye ring), and so can Connecticut (does not have the dark lores).
Nice find!
Resin
Thanks for the confirmation, Resin.
Gary
