Yesterday I reported a Nashville Warbler near Children's Hospital in Aurora.
A second birder found a a female MacGillivray’s Warbler in the same area later that day and emailed me. I can see my errors in reporting a Nashville Warbler when looking at photos of the female MacGillivray’s. But there is where I am asking for some info from everyone. I made my decision of a Nashville noting a yellow throat rather than a grayish throat. The eye ring on my ID looked like a complete and very prominent eyering. When looking a photos of the female MacGillivray’s Warbler I don't see the very prominent eyering I observed. Also the description of the eyering being above and below, but not complete does not match. When I read the email I admit it is unlikely that both birds are in the area, but this is where it get interesting...this morning I did not see the birds, but a coworker stated seeing two yellow birds while eating breakfast.
