Toupee Warbler

Just kidding...this is actually a Wilson's warbler, migrating through town. Love its little black cap/wig!

Here it shares the fountain with an orange-crowned warbler, a species that seems to be around most of the year here. Love them!

This orange-crowned warbler looks as if it is wearing a crown...

Backyard Bird Bonanza

   It was a day for birds I haven't seen before in the backyard.

A Bewick's wren (which I have heard many times but never seen before).

A song sparrow.

And what I think is a female orange-crowned warbler. 

Finches and towhees and hummingbirds, too! A good bird day!

These photos of an adorable orange-crowned warbler were taken last month; I haven't seen any recently.

Yell-ow!

 

Hello, yellow-rumped warbler.

Hello, orange-crowned warbler.

Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Lesser goldfinch. (And also hello to the house finches as well.)

Visitor

 

The fall/winter migratory birds are making an appearance. This is a little orange-crowned warbler (whose crown is quite orange indeed).

Behold, a lovely orange-crowned warbler. So cute!

Messy hair, don't care.

Bird-o-Rama Week: Orange-Crowned Warbler

 

We have several varieties of small yellow and yellow-ish birds in the backyard at the moment: male and female goldfinches and yellow warblers. I have NEVER seen this fellow before, though (these are not uncommon birds, apparently, although they are migratory): an orange-crowned warbler! 

Adorable!
