I glanced at the feeders and saw this rump at the grape jelly dish late this afternoon. I knew it wasn't a bird I had seen before. So I grabbed the camera. Can you tell what it is from this view?
Even after getting these better views, I wasn't sure what it was because it's in a transitional plumage--end of the first year male.
He doesn't have the black cap and chestnut colored cheek, he will get later. So do you know now?
It's a Cape May Warbler!! The 171st species for our property!!
Can't resist showing something else we got a brief glimpse of on Saturday too. Sorry he wasn't more in the open.
It's been a good few days on the Toogoodoo!
