Western - Subalpine Warbler |
Asst. Warden Jason Moss pulls a little magic out of the morning trap rounds. |
Jason has seen a male Eastern Subalpine Warbler every day for over a month now... This bird is not ringed? It's a new bird! and it's "Western" Yee Haw! Must of flown in on the "red eye" last night. |
Smile for the Birdy!

Simply Stunning Bird! That eye ring is amazing!
When East meets West? |
This male Western - Subalpine Warbler was ringged and released in the Obs Garden.
With the other male Eastern - Subalpine Warbler. What a photo opportunity that is...
Thanks for the show Jason. Cheers!
Craky bird indeed
ReplyDeleteHowever, what do you mean for Western bird, which is a very open and wide term ?
To me, this bird is a very good candidate for Moltoni's Warbler, so more photos will be most welcome to the BBRC I think and to all of us

though Moltoni's W should be more rosy pink rather than salmon like this bird, my PC monitor is simply not enough good to judge...though wing moult and R6-R5 pattern is good for moltonii.... any call ?
