a new bird siting - identified!
With the arrival of spring in these parts, there are also new (to me) birds in the hood. I just saw one I had never seen before: sparrow size, grey with yellow splotches and a white patch on its tail. How is this for a description? I went to WhatBird: The Ultimate Bird Guide (at http://identify.whatbird.com/mwg/_/0/attrs.aspx) and I think the bird I saw is some type of warbler (definately not a goldfinch). Our neighbor has a few bird field guides so I will ask to borrow them and see if I can make a definitive identification.
The mystery bird fits the description of a Yellow Rumped Warbler.
