Media notes
A wintering Tennessee Warbler at this park. These images were taken about ten minutes apart and about 105 meters apart in a north-south line of red ironbark (Eucalyptus sideroxylon).
Observation details
A known wintering bird, Chris first heard the bird giving a sharp chip note from a red ironbark (Eucalyptus sideroxylon) at the north end of a north-south line of a few of those trees. This was about 100 meters north of where Paul typically sees the bird. We noted a rather scruffy looking Tennessee Warbler showing pale yellow on the throat and maybe upper breast; the rest of the underparts were dingy whitish to creamy; a yellow supercilium was set off by a thin but distinct dark line behind the eye. The crown looked green, and I got a hint of green on the back (mostly seen from directly below with only glimpses of upperparts). I did see a thin pale line along tips of greater wing coverts (thin wing bar), but I did not see this in detail. The bill was sharply pointed and typical of Leiothlypis wood-warblers. In photos, I noted that the tip of the right outermost rectrix was broken off. The chin appeared to be missing feathers (pinkish bare skin visible), and the face somewhat gunked up perhaps from the bird spending so much time in the pink flowers of these trees.
