Tofte, MN, USA-August 5, 2015 - Warbler ID (1 Viewer)

My best guess is a first year Connecticut Warbler. However, as a western birder, I'm not very good with Eastern warblers. Image #3 is very bad, but does show long undertail coverts, as described in a guide. This bird was foraging low, in bushes on a hillside. Thanks for your help. DLV

I'd agree with CT Warbler; the stout legs and habitat use also fit.

I also agree with Connecticut, and the arrowhead of MN is a good place to find them.

Female Mourning Warbler. Note partly broken eye ring and more petite bill and build than Connecticutt. Compare images here:

I would think either Mourning or Tennessee.

Female ( 1st. w ? ) Mourning. The eyering is broken in all the first three photos, ruling out any kind of "artifact", the first photo shows a faint, but distinct, yellow supraloral line, the primary projection is rather short ( long on Connecticut ) and the undertail coverts don't appear to be particularly long. Tennessee is a much "blander" bird with a smaller, "needle-like" bill, no eyering, a distinct supercillium and white / whiteish undertail coverts.
