Bird ID- Southwest Ohio (1 Viewer)

[Susanne S]

Hello all! I have recently developed an interest in bird watching/ IDing and my mom loves them too. She took a picture of a bird in her window, she lives in a rural area outside Cincinnati, Ohio. There are a lot of migratory birds this time of year and being new to this, I couldn't figure out what it is. I guess maybe a Pine or Magnolia Warbler, but the colors don't seem exact. Does anyone know? Thanks!!

It's a Northern Parula. I live in SW OH too, about 50 miles north of Cincinnati

1st-year (female?).

Yes! Looks like the immature female to me also. Thank you both so much

Welcome, Susanne S! That is a Northern Parula that your mother photographed, seemingly a female.

Hi there and a warm welcome to you from those of us on staff here at BirdForum
We're glad you found us and thanks for taking a moment to say hello. Please join in wherever you like

Although I've never seen one, it is quite a beautiful female Parula! I've seen males but never a female

Thanks for the warm welcome and glad I found the site! I really appreciate the help. I'm sure I'll have more questions as I continue to get out with the birds 😉
