Orange-crowned Warbler
I see this bird often at my hummingbird feeder. It's about the size of a sparrow and is a beautiful olive green color - not many markings on it's wings.

Do you have a wild bird photo that you would like to share? If so, attach it to an email and send it to Carolyn   If you can size the picture down that would be best, approximately 200x200. Also if you would send your picture as a JPG or GIF it would be most helpful. Be sure to write your 1. name (first/& or last), 2. The bird type (such as sparrow, finch, etc.) 3. your town and state, 4. Approximate date of the picture or SEASON (winter, spring, summer, fall) 5. Any comments you might want to add about your bird picture.

Especially welcomed are those wild bird pictures from Modesto, and around California's Central Valley. However, any special bird picture will be considered regardless of your location, a good picture is a good picture.
