The male Blackpoll Warbler is distinguished by its black cap that includes the eye, and its white face. Females appear much different, brownish-gray with a dark eye line and no black cap.

“Baypoll” Warbler – first winter
(Bluff Point, Groton, CT
October 2, 2009 ©John Schwarz
This bird caused some deliberation. Because of its warm coloration and lack of streaking, Bay-breasted Warbler had to be considered. Outside opinions were sought, and out of ten responses there were six votes for Blackpoll and four votes for Bay-breasted. Upon close examination the undertail coverts appear to be white, and the feet appear to be orange – which would make it a Blackpoll. (These two species are closely related; could they hybridize?)
