We saw all the likely warblers for a November morning at the Rea Farm today - Yellow-rumped (of course), Palm, Common Yellowthroat, and the much less common Orange-crowned Warbler. The Orange-crowned was a 'lifer' for a few members of the group and it's a bird that, if you're unfamiliar with it, is easily overlooked. At a glance, you might mistake it for Tennessee or a Yellow Warbler. But Orange-crowned Warblers always show yellowish undertail coverts and have a thin dark tail, a pale supercilium, faint eyeline and a split eyering, and often show a pale area at the bend in the wing. Late fall migrants, they are here in peak numbers now and some may overwinter in the area. Leaders: Kathy & Roger Horn, and Deb Payson.
