Dick, I never did see the mate even though both sexes of the species feed young. There was this one feeding session with the cowbird and one warbler and then both birds disappeared and I never saw any of them again, even though I waited for them for quite a while. You could be right and this could be the male - I just don't know. BNA says that the crown patch "when present, concealed by greenish feather tips" and I presume this applies to both sexes so I didn't use the patch to try to sex the bird. BNA also says that "Individuals with āintermediateā orange caps cannot be reliably sexed by cap alone".]]></description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In reply to <a href="https://www.featheredphotography.com/blog/2015/07/10/orange-crowned-warbler-parasitized-by-cowbirds/#comment-105001">Dick Harlow</a>.</p> <p>Dick, I never did see the mate even though both sexes of the species feed young.
