Black-throated Green Warbler

Val's photo of a Black-throated Green Warbler, Puerto Morelos, Mexico, 12/24/10.

The first time I saw (or at least identified) a Black-throated Green Warbler was last summer while hiking up Blood Mountain in Goergia, but unfortunately I didn't get a decent picture. So when Luis announced that he just spotted one up in a tree, I was excited to have another chance at a photo.  Instead the best photo came from Val (Above) which could be of either a female or a juvenile male.

Black-throated Green Warblers spend their summers throughout much of Canada east of the Rockies and south into the Great Lakes and Northeast States and along Appalaichia. Its winter residence extends from the southern tip of Florida, along the Atlantic Coast of Mexico, throughout the Caribbean Islands and south into Central America.
