This little Black-throated Blue Warbler isn't going to get used in the paper she was intended for, so here she is for you to enjoy instead! One more fine example of how annoying it is when birds are named for plumage features seen only in males - no black throat here! But she does sport that characteristic little white wing patch that can help you ID these guys regardless of age or sex.

Today, migration royalty visited - a Purple Finch! I spotted him from my office and snapped some photos with the DSLR through the dirty window (1 + 2). And I almost thought he was by the cam feeder too but nope, the other one is a House Finch. When he got angry at the Goldfinch, you could see his non-red wing bars and some of the stripes on the belly. They can be tough to ID! I hope the Purple comes back tomorrow and visits the feeders with cameras.
