CAPE MAY WARBLER, PRESQU'ILE PROVINCIAL PARK, BRIGHTON, ON

   We can ID this warbler as a Cape May Warbler of the bright variety as follows:
  • Bright yellow throat and face.
  • Eye-arcs and dark eyeline.
  • Sharp, dark bill.
  • Dark streaking on underparts.
  • Olive-gray cap.
  • White wing patch.
  • Cheek patch is grayish, rather than chestnut.  This would indicate that this Cape May Warbler may be a breeding female or a juvenile.
