When eBird calls the Orange-crowned Warbler 'nondescript,' 'very plain,' and 'common', I think they mean they're "a quietly beautiful & gentle bird and we're so lucky to have them around all the time" 🪶

RUFOUS!!!

Not often seen at home, more likely during Spring migration. The two notched tail feathers are seen so confident it is not a year round Allen’s that can look very similar. #birds San Diego north county.

I clambered up the backside of this rather precipitous hillock atop of which he was perched so he wouldn't see me coming—and then had a few glorious moments near him before he bolted for good. Doubtless the closest I've ever been to one of these death-dealing darlings 🪶

Thanks!
