Re: Patagonia, AZ Bird ???

The pattern looks like a Wilson's Warbler. I don't have a clear shot of it either if that is what it is.

Latest Birds: Black-throated Green Warbler, Pine Warbler, Eastern Kingbird, Rufous-backed Robin, Crissal Thrasher

Re: Patagonia, AZ Bird ???

Before I read Matt's post, I was leaning toward an Orange-crowned Warbler with the crown feathers catching light in a way that makes them look dark. Wilson's are generally a brighter yellow---but makes sense for the location in April---we were mobbed by them this year. So, I'm on the fence. Anyone else?

8 days camping in Western Colorado and 5 new birds: Juniper Titmouse, Mountain Bluebird, Black-billed Magpie, Clark's Nutcracker, Gray Jay. Beautiful!!!
