Grey-headed
warblers - Oporornis genus
The three grey-headed
warblers often cause a lot of confusion for the beginning birder. Although
the Connecticut Warbler is fairly easy to distinguish from the Mourning
and MacGillivray's, the Mounring and MacGillivray's present a challenge,
especially in the area where their distributions overlap.

Connecticut
Warbler
The underparts of the Connecticut are much paler that those of
the Mourning and MacGillivray's Warblers. The lack of black in
the breast of the Connecticut is also distinctive.

Mourning
Warbler
The tail appears shorter in the Mourning Warbler compared
to the MacGillivray's. The black in the breast is concentrated
at the bottom of the grey.
