Went down to middle Georgia yesterday and met up with a friend unexpectedly there. Lots of this species singing. Redbuds are in bloom too! Been very busy with a lot of things and away from most social media. Hope to catch up soon!

Georgia mountains. Have seen a lot of these migrating south this season. Most are yellow-lored but have had a couple white-lored. This individual has some brownish tones dorsally and also in the flanks indicating it is likely either a first fall male or an adult female. In addition there is not much black on the cap, just some black laterally, which also goes along with that. Adult males tend to have more black on the cap and no brownish tones along with bolder black side stripes. However in the fall those black side stripes are somewhat veiled in white feathers so they appear less bold in all plumages.

Georgia mountains. I like this inquisitive pose also for the field marks it displays. This is likely subspecies albilora which breeds to the north of us. Notice the lack of yellow in the lores (the white stripe above the eye is solid white all the way up to the beak) Notice the white stripe on the upper chin near the beak which extends to the upper sides the throat. Both of these features would be not so likely in subspecies dominica.
Also this is likely a first fall female as although a bright bird she is rather dull for this species. Notice the cap virtually is solid gray without any black even on its edges. The black side striping is not sharp at all and there is buff on the sides along with a brownish wash on the back (seen best on other views).
