new-to-us yard bird

[b_gerth]

Hi folks, 

A new-to-us bird has been visiting our compost bin the last couple days. Looks a little like a kinglet, but a slightly larger and without wing bars. Maybe some king of vireo or warbler?

Sorry the photo is not super. Best I could do with my cellphone.

Cheers,

Bill

Bill--

With that fairly long thin bill (for a warbler anyway...) looks like it's probably an Orange-crowned Warbler. Common breeding species around here, but few and far between in winter.

Thanks, Nancy! I've heard of those before, but have never seen them.

Cheers,

Bill

I had an orange crown visiting my nectar feeders one cold winter. It seems like they occasionally overwinter here.

Hey again, Nancy and everybody,

 

Just found this from the eBird website. It is an animated map where you can find the expected occurrences of many bird species in North America at different time of year. This is the map for the orange crowned warbler...

If you want to look at seasonal distributions for other species, just click "Change species" on the upper right part of the screen.

 

Cheers,

Bill
