Photos and the stories they tell

Black-throated .. Green .. What?

We have been hiking along the Miami River between Troy and Piqua extra this week. The birds are arriving in large numbers. I missed the first shot I took of this beautiful guy but the second came out great. I posted them in reverse order.

Are You Sure

This one had me stumped. I had a hard time identifying this bird. I initally thought it was a Golden-cheeked Warbler. The thing is, this the Golden-cheeked Warbler is very rare, and even engangered. They are normally only seen in Texas. (Click the link above to see a photo of the Golden-cheeked Warbler).

Strike one .. so what is the beautiful bird?

After consulting with local experts, I now believe this is a Black-throated Green Warbler . Click the link to check it out. It still had me feeling unsure, but that is what I am going with.
