Re: [cobirds] ID again (new bird this time)

Thanks again everybody for your input! One of you asked if I had a decent bird book. I have three books (although how good they are, I'm not really qualified to say). I have Sibley's Birds of the West, the American Birding Association's Birds of Colorado, and the Readers's Digest book of North American Birds. I spend a lot of time flipping between them. LOL> In most cases, I'm able to find the bird I'm trying to ID. Just had trouble with those two today — the thrush, because I was looking in the wrong family! And the warbler because man, there are a lot of those little guys who look pretty similar. lol.

Thanks again!

He (she?) is super quick, flitting around from spot to spot, eating something off the bottoms of the aspen leafs. Very tiny (chickadee-size). Again, no luck with my app. You all saw how bad my guess was on the thrush. LOL. This one… I'm guessing yellow warbler?
