A warbler species high up into the canopy
Many times we find warblers flittering around the canopy. A good majority of the time we identify them by their bird song but on occasion we are required to look at their underside for identification. Are you willing to try and identify this species found here in New York State?

Welcome everyone to the birdQUIZ blog that will help you with your bird identification skills. Feel free to use any kind of reference you have available for your identification (Sibley’s Field Guide is recommended)!! Good Luck Everyone!
If you need spoilers click on the comments but I strongly suggest that you try to identify the bird first before moving down to see what answers have been given already. The person who commented could be wrong!! Most or all of these birds have been identified in the hand already and we know the answer (unless we say we don't know the answer).

BTGW…saw my FOS ones just yesterday!

Black-throated Green is my guess as well, but it is difficult to rule out a Golden-cheeked from that angle, especially as there appears to be a distinct black eye stripe.
Have you guys been to Texas lately?

I’ll go with Black-throated Green

Black-Throated Green…that’s the exact view I usually get of ‘em.

BTNW!

Definitely a BTNW. The tail says it all.

“The tail says it all.”
How is that?

that eye-line is pretty dark (could be shaded from another branch perhaps?) I know you don’t get Townsend’s often but they do show up…. most likely from your location tho I’d have to weight with the group that it’s most likely a black-throated green.

Great Job everyone this is a Black-throated Green Warbler! This is also how I always see these guys. Aullori, we don’t get Townsends here!

I have no idea. I guess I don’t go much beyond the birds I commonly see in my back yard.
