Dendroica tigrina
Nuwak Pt Barrow, Alaska
6 June
I found a Bayu May Warbler this afternoon evening (~8:20pm) at Nuwak at
the far end of the patch, foraging on insects among emergent vegetation in
melt ponds. Flitting about occasionally calling a high tree call, very short
and repeated a few times.
description - small Dendroica w/ tawny olive back
streaked blade. yellow rump. chestnut patch on side of head. a large white-wing
patch (not very large, but bigger than a bar). Dark streaking through yellow
breast, which fades into white belly. yellow vent. throat yellow. heavy yellow
collar extending most of way around head although not connected at top. With
dark top of head gives strong implication of cap. yellow eye-ring. thin dark eye
strip running to base of bill. I watched it for ~10 minutes from less than
c0' distance. excellent light (full sun). It is much brighter than shown in
Robbins field guide.
