[cobirds] Re: Re: Bay-breasted pic


I just read in the Warblers Guide, by Jon Dunn and Kimball Garrett, about Bay-breasted Warblers "Legs and feet usually dark", which probably means, it is possible for them to not have dark legs and feet, like the Boulder bird.  This bird looks perfect for a Bay-breasted Warbler, cool bird, and nice photos.  After you all enjoy it up there, please send it down here.

This bird certainly looks right for a Bay-breasted Warbler, though why does it have light colored legs and feet.  Shouldn't they be black, or do immature birds in the fall, sometimes have light colored legs and feet.  I don't remember seeing one, without black legs and feet.

Congrats to everyone who has been able to add this species to their state list today and yesterday, as I know this species has been a problem for a few of the high state bird listers.
