My first guess is prothonotary warbler

Oh my word! The things I do not know! Sweet wee bird - but I bow to those who could even begin to make a sensible guess... At this time of year, who knows what might turn up as migration continues apace. How wonderful to be in the company of such a creature!

The yellow coloring is right, but the blue winged has a dark stripe from beak to eye...the mystery bird doesn't.

I'm still not convinced I'm right, though.  Something about the shape of the face...

Hi everyone...I have been looking in my Peterson's field guide and this is a mystery bird indeed!
BUT the closest I can come to is the Prothonotary which would be wonderful!
They should wear name tags !!!  happy

Mike's juvie, #00 or Michaela as I call her, with the broken wing was definitely put into an outside flight cage over the weekend.  Fingers crossed here that she will be flying free shortly.  Although I would love to see and photograph her during the Focus on Raptors Day at The Raptor Trust on October 16.

This one's a possibility too, but I was checking the gallery of Lloyd Spitalnik for possibilities-he takes a lot of great photos in Central Park & has a whole section just on warblers-and all the front views he has of the yellow warbler show reddish brown streaks on the breast...

I thought of a yellow warbler too but as Ei said they have the streaks on the breast.
I am still thinking prothonotary...I am having the photos printed and taking it to the naturalist that writes the column in the newspaper and see what the verdict is.
At any rate this was a cute little one and it was fun to see it.   happy

That little bird was wonderful to see and be near. It was a special treat to be so close to it :-)
