Hello from California, In the Sierra Nevada Forest California this past weekend I saw an extraordinary green bird. (1 Viewer)

Incredible looking bird and I don’t think it would be the first time a bird was seen where they weren’t expected to be.

I don't recall seeing any other color other than green (unlike the above photo which shows a spot of orange color behind the eye.) Given habitat range I would assume that the bird I saw was more likely an Orange-Crowned Warbler and somehow the light made the green color more vibrant. In any event I was mesmerized by the beauty of the bird that I spotted on the west side of the Sierra Mountains!
