I also have a little group of yellow rumps and pine warblers hitting the suet this week, today an influx of palm warblers and several cowbirds happily following around the few sheep I had turned out. Single Starling singing, not particularly welcome but not sure if they have found a place to nest yet. Persisting large flock of goldfinches with about half a dozen pine siskins mixed in.

I have had up to 3 of these guys in my yard and at my suet feeders for the last 5 days. They are all quite bright and it’s easy to see the yellow crown patch at several angles when they’re on a suet feeder, but a few times no crown patch is visible. Would that be a female or can the crown patch be really small or hidden? Is it a Myrtle vs Audubon’s thing? I lived in California for 20 years and never had this issue with the Audubon’s subspecies warblers in my yard there.
Thanks for any help.
