[mou] Thanks to all - Re: 2008 Spring Migrant ID help needed

Wed Jul 9 14:26:28 CDT 2008

All,

Regarding my bird ID query - thanks to the many who responded!

The consensus was Tennessee Warbler with a "black chinstrap" was simply 
caused by a ruffling or separation of the feathers - exposing darker 
feathers, skin or shadows below.

[Also - this bird was in my flowering tree - which jives with a 
Tennessee Warbler according to Sibley guide.  Although - I did try - I 
did not get a chance to record its song.]

Again - thanks!  I have added it to my yard-list for Minneapolis.

Regards,

Ed
