Friday Quiz #98 - IMBD Edition

Quiz #98 Tomorrow, May 10, is International Migratory Bird Day and to celebrate I dug deep into my archives (it's from a slide!) for this week's quiz bird. This species is one I feature in my presentation Wings on the Wind, that, not coincidentally, will be tomorrow's night's featured Ranger Program here at Bryce (we're also having a birding walk Sunday morning if you are in the area and care to come along).

Before I forget, last week's bird was an American Bittern.

Note: David (and anyone else who wants to play): extra credit if you can tell me what kind of tree it is in . . . I know you know, though you may not be able to identify it from the photo )

Comments

Hi Kevin - well, I knew I have never seen this bird. Upon looking closely, I thought it must be a warbler, but I wasn't sure. And because of the color I thought maybe it's a black and white warbler. But when I checked my field guide, its characteristics looked more like a blackpoll warbler. Is that what it is? And is it sitting in an elm tree? Where (geographically) did you photograph the bird?
