Nashville Warbler
Vermivora ruficapilla
Alsop (418) writes that "the
only North American warbler with a yellow throat, no wing bars,
a white eye ring, and a blue-gray head" is the Nashville
Warbler. This bird appears to have all four of those marks.
Lockwood & Freeman (169) write
of the Nashville Warbler, "Uncommon to abundant migrant
throughout most of the state, generally more common in fall than
in spring." So the geography does not exclude it being a
Nashville Warbler.
Compare this bird with the Mourning Warbler.
