senoritafishMy eyes needed a rest after struggling with formatting headings in my Coastal Pelagic Species Sampling Manual (revision 2003)©, so I looked out the window and noticed a tiny bird with yellow patches on its sides and white patches on its wings. I watched for a minute, trying to get the markings straight in my mind; I knew if I tried to grab my binoculars out of my backpack under the desk, it would be gone. Sure enough, within seconds he had hopped up to the top branches and out of sight.
Perusing my Audubon Field Guide to North American Birds©, I find it looks like either a Yellow-rumped (Audubon's) Warbler or a Black-throated Gray Warbler, although I didn't notice the yellow chin and forehead of the former, or black-and-white eye mask of the latter. This area is within the range of both species.
It's so nice to have windows - in our former office, we were in the basement. Alright, stop bird-watching and get back to work....
