Kentucky Warbler
by: Anonymous

Doug,

Quoting from "Kaufman's Field Guide to Birds of North America" (An excellent reference book, by the way);

"Oporornis formosus" In leafy woods of the southeast, this shy warbler hops and runs on the ground under dense thickets.
Bright yellow spectacles set off black crown and black whisker mark. Plain olive above, bright yellow below. Young male Common Yellowthroat similar but lacks obvious spectacles.....Song: A rich "turree-turrree-turree". Callnote: loud "chep".

Rare bird around these parts. As Jon said....maybe he's on his way south for the summer.

Great pic by the way.

Kentucky Warbler
by: Jon

Hi Doug,

Thank you for submitting the picture of the bird that flew in to your window.

It is a Kentucky Warbler. This is the time of year they migrate north. Hopefully this was just a minor delay in his trip and the cats didn't eat him.

Thanks.

Jon
