Yellow Warbler (florida coast) (1 Viewer)

[Owene]

Saw this bird, very bright yellow as the overall colour tone in flight flying between small islands in the crystal River on Florida's gulf coast.

It looks good to me as a female yellow warbler from what Sibley calls the northern group, presumably on migration. Any alternative species is likely to be a tick anyway but wanted to clarify

Yellow Warbler.👍

Yellow Warbler, indeed.

This is American Yellow Warbler S.aestiva after the IOC split, the other species being simply Yellow Warbler S.petechia.

Setophaga petechia is the Mangrove Warbler in the IOC list. The name "American Yellow Warbler" distinguishes S. aestiva from the African Yellow Warbler (Iduna natalensis), the Mountain Yellow Warbler (I. similis) and the Papyrus Yellow Warbler (Calamonastides gracilirostris), all acrocephalids.

Not on Scythebill it's not?

Then Scythebill's wrong. It's Mangrove Warbler in the actual IOC list:

New World warblers, mitrospingid tanagers – IOC World Bird List

I had thought that to be honest, messaged Adam to let him know.

Are you using the latest version of Scythebill, 15.9.0? It is correct in this version. I don't recall an error in past versions, but can't say that I've checked them all.

That would explain it, thank you I've got 15.8.1

Updated and lost 8 species despite the sytstem telling me I lost 2 and gained 2?

I haven't experienced this problem. The taxonomy view defaults to ebird, so you can check that. You can also look into "Special reports" and then "Splits and lumps" to see if you can get a better understand of what might be missing.

I've done the splits and lumps but when I go to 'reports', I get the number of species I've seen plus, in brackets, '17's'p' which I presume are unresolved but can't figure out how to locate them?

Thanks bguy but my main problem is not changing the information I put in, finding what the 17 'sp' are is the problem?

 

[Tiraya]

Interesting that IOC splits them, I thought they were always "possible/pending".

And this time I don't think it's my fault you lost lifers!

the link tells you how to find them

 

[Andy Adcock]

the link tells you how to find them

1. Click Show reports
2. In the rule drop-down list, select Sp./Hybrid? (You should see “is” and “Sp.” selected automatically.)

The first bit is easy but cannot see part two on that page?

When you click reports there should be a field in the upper left saying location. Click on that and select the bottom option on the dropdown list that appears.
