think you are right looks like a juvenile female Tropical Parula. nothing else comes close.
Comment by Joan Denoo on November 10, 2012 at 12:15pm Dallas, I have mostly sparrows, too. I play CD bird songs trying to attract in the birds I know live in this area. Occasionally gold finch, woodpeckers, and hawks drop in and of course, the sky is full of crows and pigeons but they don't land here. If anyone has any other ideas for attracting birds, please let me know.
Certainly looks the same. The slight differences may be differences in gender.
Comment by Idaho Spud on November 10, 2012 at 11:32am Although the bill is not the right shape. I got my picture from Google, and after reading about it, mine may be a hybrid. Wikipedia shows the Tropical Parula as being more black than blue. What do I know? Not much.
Comment by Idaho Spud on November 10, 2012 at 11:19am Looks like a Tropical Parula. http://identify.whatbird.com/obj/1090/_/Tropical_Parula.aspx
Thanks. Anyone know what kind of bird it is?
Such a beautiful sight to see this morning. It's windy here. It might rain. I need to check the forecast.
Comment by Idaho Spud on November 10, 2012 at 10:23am Attractive bird Dallas, and I like the animation.
I love that animated GIF Dallas - thanks so much for posting it here. Beautiful!
I don't get anything that colorful around here. Only plain brown sparrows, it seems.
