My Favorite: Guess what? ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS HAVE ORANGE CROWNS!! Who knew!?!?! It's a field mark that you just don't often seen in the field, but thankfully this guy seemed determined to show me the trademark orange feathering on his crown. From our home in Brandon, South Dakota, in May of 2019.
