CLOSED: Backyard Birds - Willis, Texas

I think all of these birds are Pine Warblers, but not sure. The location is a mostly pine forest with some hardwood in Willis, Texas about 80 miles north of Houston, Texas. Sam Houston National Forest is just a few miles from the property.

I photographed them all within about an hour yesterday in overcast conditions.

A couple more ... one with a Downy Woodpecker.

Some of them are right out of the book, but some look so pale and plain I wonder if they are a different bird altogether.

Thanks much for any help.

Patti

Yep, all Pine Warblers. Dullest birds are first-year females, brightest are adult males.

Resin

Thanks, Resin. A neighbor has been seeing orange-crowned warblers, so I thought maybe the duller ones could be oc's.

Patti

They'd have no wingbars ;-)

Resin

Yes. I guess I was wishing away those pale wingbars. :)

Thanks!

Try using photoshop? :-)

Haha! I'm pretty good in Photoshop, but not that good.
