JUVENILE MAGNOLIA WARBLER, SIX MILE CYPRESS SLOUGH PRESERVE, FT. MYERS, FL

   We saw this bird during a field trip on 11/14/15 from the Audobon of the Western Everglades to Six Mile Slough Preserve in Ft. Myers.  We can ID this bird as juvenile (1st Winter) Magnolia Warbler as follows:

• Bright yellow breast and belly
• Two white wing bars
• Grey head
• Black tip on tail.  If you look closely at the tail in the photo you can make this out.
• White eye ring

We would like to thank Orlando Hidalgo for help in identifying this warbler.

   The Magnolia Warbler is a new species to our Life List, which now stands at 244.
