Dendroica discolor 4.5 - 5"
Similar in size and coloration to a Yellow Warbler, but lacking in the vertical frontal bars and having black side stripes and 2 distinctive facial stripes, the Prairie Warbler is a beautiful bird. They have a very distinctive call: an ascending thin buzzy sizzle of 5 to 16 "zee zee zee zee zees". Prairie Warblers prefer land with a lot of scrubrush along side pine forests.
We heard these far before we saw them. They have a really fun call. We searched and searched and I thought that I had taken pictures of Yellow Warblers. However, upon closer inspection, and especially alongside that amazing call, I am sure that the picture above is a Praire Warbler!!
Got em Dad!!!
