Center frame, facing left, looking left atop a Rough-leaved dogwood shrub sits a small songbird, who according to Allaboutbirds.org has a fine, pointed bill and rather long wings and tail. Breeding males are grayish above with a reddish-brown crown, breast and flanks, black face, and creamy buff underparts and rear cheek.
Happy Saturday friends... the warbler theme continues with this Bay-breasted warbler I caught in May. As a friend once described, the bird's breeding wardrobe seems to be one formed by committee 😀 #birds #birdingOh #wildlife #naturephotography #Baybreasted #Newworldwarblers #warblers #BWIAB
