Mismatched set



This blog has been threatening to die of starvation lately, but here's a tasty morsel. It's a prairie warbler, a new species for me, and an unexpected one at this time of the year.  The location is also a bit implausible -- Assembly Square.  I have to give a shout-out to this guy, because otherwise I'd have identified this bird as something else.

My confusion stemmed, partly, from the fact that there was another warbler in the same tree:


This one is a palm warbler, a species that's a bit more familiar around here.  Still, I shouldn't have assumed that these birds made a matched set.
