Rohr park mystery warbler, Magnolia Warbler?
Sorry for the late notice but looking through the Warbler Guide, (great book), The middle picture on page 346 looks like my bird and it's pose, but the streaks on the side were a little darker like the top picture on that page. I believe the bird was a Magnolia Warbler. The bird in this picture also has a plain, gray head for the most part. Now the embarrassing part, I reported a young Nashville from that morning, seeing only it's head and throat, (making an assumption due to the large eyering and grayish head, and the yellow coming up to the bill on the throat), and now that I look at pics of the Magnolia, this well could have been the Magnolia instead. ok, directions. As you enter lot C, you look off to your left hand side and there is a Euc grove, with 5 locust trees right next to it. Just barely west of the Locust trees are a couple of full figured trees and the morning, he was in one of these but when I saw the afternoon bird, it was pretty high in the Eucs at the far east end of that area. Again, I'm sorry for the late notice but I just wasn't sure what I had. I'm feeling pretty good with this ID but of course, I could be wrong.
