Hi All,
After looking at Rob Raker's photos for the first time last night (see
link below), the bird I reported on 9-28-12 as a Pine Warbler turns
out to be a Blackpoll Warbler. The link to Rob's photos is found below.
Photo 1 shows the yellow feet of the Blackpoll Warbler - a Pine
Warbler would also have a more defined auricular patch.
Photo 15 shows the back of the White-breasted Nuthatch (dark gray with
no contrasting dark marks on tertials and coverts), making it a
mountain or interior West WBNU. The eastern subspecies would be paler
gray on the back with
sharply contrasting black marks on the tertials and coverts.
Photos 18 & 19 show distinctly the green legs and lores of the
juvenile Black-crowned Night Heron.
To summarize, uncommon warblers seen at Belmar Park this week:
9-28-12 Blackpoll Warbler
10-2-12 Pair of Palm Warblers; a male Black-throated Blue Warbler (no
photos); and then the Blackpoll Warbler refound by Mark Chavez.
