Hey all!

It is safe to say I missed my focus point. This was taken at Patterson Park in Baltimore City, Maryland on 10.19.12. Best I can figure it is a Western Palm Warbler. However the beak and legs are light and Stokes shows all darker (especially beak). For all purposes, this is all the information I have on this bird. I failed. But in my defense it was moving very fast!

Thanks!

Benjamin

It could be, but I've seen Orange-crowned Warblers, with that yellow of vents.

If it's an Orange-crowned Warbler it is feeling mighty lonely because that would be a rather rare bird around here at this point. I know you are not saying "it is a..." but I just wanted to throw rarity out there.

It is possible, for it to be a OCW, but yes it's rare.
