Possible Prairie Warbler (?) from Cuba

[Stephen Stephen]

Hi everyone,

While going over some photo from our Christmas 2008 trip to Varadero Cuba I came across a couple of poor images of this bird. I couldn't seem to see many birds in my field guides that it could be other than a Prairie Warbler.

Whatever it it I'm sure that it'll be another life list addition for me.

Looks like Prairie to me.

Indeed, a nice male Prairie Warbler. They're quite common and widespread in Cuba (and Florida) in winter.

Thanks you Ilija and Richard. I was fairly confident with my ID but it's always good to verify with others. I'm going to go back into my files to see if I have at least one keeper in the bunch.
