Threesome

This winter I see Yellow-rumped Warblers often.   The other day I saw three of them together busily munching the suet.


There are two types of Yellow-rumped Warblers:  Audubon's and Myrtle.

Audubon's Warbler has a yellow throat (except for a few immature females), whereas Myrtle Warbler has a white eyebrow.  See if you can identify the following birds.  It's fun.


A:  "Who am I?"




B:  "Who can I be?"














Answers:
A:  "I am a male Audubon's Warbler with the yellow throat and the yellow crown."

B:  "I am a female Myrtle Warbler with no yellow throat, but with the white eyebrow.  My brownish and less bright body indicates a female."
