What I at first thought was a cooperative Mourning warbler, I now believe to be
a good candidate for a Connecticut Warbler. Upon consulting my books and
pictures of today's bird in question I have to second guess my Mourning warbler
ID. The pictures are linked below, please advise, I have never seen a
Connecticut Warbler and hesitate to make the ID.
The bird was flushed out of the tall grasses along the woodchipped path
stretching between near the children's playground at 56th Rd and 146 street
towards Peck avenue. The bird was located just south of the childrens
playground. Location map attached.
The sighting was at 1:20 PM.
Characteristics,
Lack of yellow on throat, pale to greyish hood is complete.
The tail seems shortened
Bicoloured bill
Pot bellied appearance
Nice solid eye-ring
And behaviour, it perched on trees in front and above me when it was flushed
out.
