In the workshop, Jon will cover the regularly occurring Orange County warbler species in detail as well as the various subspecies issues like Orange-crowned, Nashville, Yellow-rumped and Wilson’s. Timing and dates and western migration in general will be discussed. We’ll also work through the more thorny warbler identification problems such as Orange-crowned and Tennessee and the other yellowish warblers, “Myrtle” and “Audubon’s” Warblers, the Blackpoll, Bay-breasted and Pine trio, the Waterthrushes, and the Oporornis group.
