Re: [cobirds] warbler ID help (picture)

Hi Bill et al.:

 

The bird is decidedly a Blackburnian.  Though the upperparts picture is blown out (overexposed), the white braces are still obvious.  Additionally, Blackpoll would never show any hint of orange below, and in fall is decidedly greenish there.

 

Good job, Bill.

I think this is a female 1st winter Blackburnian warbler which I saw at the
Florence River park today but I would appreciate any comments

I also got to see the Black and Eastern phoebes that SeEtta had reported.

Thanks

I have received several replies, some people think this bird is a blackpoll
and others think it is a blackburnian.

Here are a couple more pictures that sort of show the back of bird::
