Orange-crowned Warbler (Leiothlypis celata) (1)
- Reported Mar 12, 2025 09:29 by M Weinstein
- Brooklyn Botanic Garden, Kings, New York
- Map: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&q=40.6680222,-73.96367&ll=40.6680222,-73.96367
- Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S218045946
- Comments: "Foraging w chickadees and kinglets in evergreen shrub. At first thought was a kinglet but even before I saw it more clearly, I thought it was foraging too slowly to be a kinglet. Under parts dull yellow wash, w more intense yellow on breast and undertail coverts, whiter on belly between. Blurry, faint streaks on breast. No notable markings or color on under-tail feathers. Dull brown above. Thought I saw some kind of subtle facial pattern but wasn't confident enough in moment to report for sure now. Larger than kinglet but still on smaller side for a warbler, compact. In moment thought either a vireo or warbler. No notable behavior (like tail pulling). Not 100% positive on ID bc did not get a super clear/long look but based on markings and nearby warbler sightings I feel good reporting as OCWA."
