Friends,
I know this is a challenge, but I could use some help. Here’s the description of a bird I saw this morning in Cherry Creek SP, semi-near Cherry Creek HS:
Warbler shaped/sized. White eye-ring. Pale yellow wash on throat, and extending down each side of the breast.. Fluttering in top of tree. Some wing-barring. Chest was buff-colored.
In looking through field guides, I ruled out vireos. Not a sparrow, clearly. The closest thing (by picture) was Virginia’s Warbler…..but I highly doubt that!
Suggestions?
Thanks!
