Last week's bird is the smallest North American and the only desert breeding warbler: Lucy's Warbler, Vermivora luciae (named after the daughter of ornithologist Spencer Baird, not Mrs. Ricardo).
For this week we have a bird that I discovered foraging among a group of very similar birds. The yellow on the forehead was my first clue that it was not the same as the others. The image was made at Bosque Birdwatchers RV park just outside the northern boundary of Bosque del Apache NWR.
