Struggling with this one. Doesn't look like Nashville to me: I can't see a clear eye ring on this image (certainly not as clear as Nashville's), and the head isn't noticeably greyer than the rest of itHi Mar2burt,
There's a bunch of little yellowish birds to choose from, but I'll guess first with Nashville warbler. Grey head, big, unbroken eye ring... and they're known to migrate later than many birds, ie., starting now. You're not too far south of their breeding grounds, so the timing works.
Yellow-rumped has streaked upperpartsI'm going to suggest Yellow-rumped.
I was going to suggest that before moving the thread, but the lack of streaking put me off too.Yellow-rumped has streaked upperparts
Depends what lights. Much mortality occurs because birds are attracted to lights. Have to choose colours etc carefully.I presume the tower’s lights were left on overnight?….cos if they weren’t 😩😩😩
I was under the impression that “most” US cities had adopted a “safe lighting programme” during the migration seasons and with that,Depends what lights. Much mortality occurs because birds are attracted to lights. Have to choose colours etc carefully.
Shouldn't that show dark streaks on the mantle?Magnolia Warbler
Grahame
You are not looking close enough, discreet black shaft streaks are clearly visible both to the mantle and upper tail coverts and, it has a yellow rump.Shouldn't that show dark streaks on the mantle?
I think we should also consider orange-crowned. Not sure if we can be confident from this photo.
