Common Yellowthroat but can't count it




We saw this bird, dead, in downtown Anderson yesterday afternoon.  I should have gone straight to my Peterson, but tried to use another field guide instead.  A discussion on Carolina Birders Facebook page helped get the identification - a female Common Yellowthroat.  When I checked Peterson, yes, it's identical to the drawing/painting in there.  Sure hate to see this happen to this beautiful bird.
