Warbler Cage Match #3. Thanks to everyone who voted the past two days. If you missed either of them, it is not too late to go back on my feed to vote. Now please comment on your fave of these four: Blackpoll, Palm, Yellow, Yellow-rumped #birds #birding #warbler #warblers

A blackpoll warbler superficially resembles a chickadee, but not if you take a good look. And check out those bright orange legs and feet! A jaunty looking palm warbler in profile view, singing his heart out with his head tipped back. This shot was taken in early spring before there were any leaves out The little tiger warbler, the yellow warbler is a bright yellow with tiger orange stripes on the male's breast. He has a beady black eye. This is another early spring shot, with buds just starting to appear. A yellow-rumped warbler in profile view, looking to the right. You can clearly see the large yellow patch on his flanks, barely see his yellow crown, and can't see his yellow rump, which leads to birders nicknaming them

Got to be the Blackpoll, as he's wearing the colours of my football team (Newcastle United). His orange feet also make him look like he's wearing a snazzy pair of high-tech boots.
