Title: Vireos maybe ?
Post by: surfinbird on September 06, 2007, 10:11:05 PM

I always think they are vireos and I always get it wrong it seems . Anyway could anyone  tell me what these birds could be ? They were all moving through the trees together .

The top two are vireos.  You can even see the red eye of the Red-eyed Vireo in that second shot.  The bottom picture, however, is of a warbler.  It looks like a male Cape May.

The last photo is a Yellow-rumped Warbler in fall colours.

You're right.  What I took to be a yellow breast, at a second glance, looks like a white breast in shadow.
