Prairie Warbler
Dendroica discolor
Nov. 2 Monterey area, Monterey Co., Calif: 1 found by Laurie Binford 100 yds.
downstream from Hwy 1 bridge over Carmel River on south bank.
Watched off and on for 10 minutes from about 75' as it foraged
in broad-leaved trees about 40' tall, feeding in outer foliage. Often
hovered next to leaf. Occasionally wagged tail. Appeared to be a
smaller warbler than average. Basically grayish-green above (back not
seen well enough to see if streaked) and yellow below, with two
whitish wingbars. Distinctively marked with black on face, particularly the
semicircular mark below eye and another dot on sides of throat; sides
and flanks spotted with black.
