Common Yellowthroat per Poecile05
........observed at the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area near the interpretation centre in early September, 2008........
........I have tried to research a name and will probably be embarassed again about how common it is, but I still don't know.........:-)
.....a shot below of another one in the same group seems to have a more yellowish breast........
.........taken late afternoon, on a dull day 800 ISO about as good as I could do with the D50..........
......after posting in Field Guide Birds of BC group discussion, Poecile05 says that this is a Common Yellowthroat.........so I am slightly embarassed as it is "common"........:-)
.......still looks too pudgy to me but after looking at other flickr tagged Yellowthroats, these ones appear like they are possibly fluffy juveniles.........
