BANISH “WHAT WARBLER???” MISERY NOW WITH CORNELL LAB

I’ve written before about the problems of ID of the multitude of small yellow birds on Abaco. They are mostly (but not all) warblers. The issue is further confused by the differences in each species between males, females and juveniles; and also, I expect, by colour variations during the season. YW song courtesy of Xeno-Canto

The CORNELL LAB OF ORNITHOLOGY has again come to the rescue with a helpful article. The link below takes as the starting point Yellow Warblers. Here is a grab of the page so you can see the well-thought-out format. You get

• Keys to ID – size, shape, colour pattern, behaviour and habitat
• Range Map
• Audio clip of Call
• Field marks (zoomable) including M & F
• Similar species for comparison
• Further down the page, other similar species and their details (e.g. American Goldfinch, Yellowthroats)
