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?

This bird is a commonly found bird in the New York State area and I thought this is a more straight forward silhouette that shouldn’t be that hard to identify. I wish everyone luck in identifying this species and be sure to look at the birds posture, bill type, tail shape, feet and any field marks that it might have.

In Flight birdQUIZ

After the past two birdQUIZ’s that were hard. . . . I figured it was time to do an easier birdQUIZ for everyone. I captured this bird in flight here in New York State and thought it was a little tricky with the way the wing is blocking some of the bird! Be sure to use your field guide and make sure to look for all available field marks.
