I've seen so many head-scratchers already, but don't often get useful photos. Always appreciate the help here. -kris
This first pic was taken in late August at French River. I'm guessing Blackburnian, partly because there were others still in breeding plumage nearby.

This one was taken today at Col.Sam Smith Park. He was hanging out with what looked like a Yellow Warbler. Is it a Blackpoll?

The second one, it could be a Tennessee Warbler or a Red-eyed Vireo. My guess is it is a REV because the tail is long, (Tennessee W. have short tails) and its shape to me suggests a vireo. But, I admit, these guys are tricky to identify.

The first is a Blackburnian.
For the second note the prominent supercilium and yellow undertail - it's a Palm Warbler.

Thank you so much Gary and Reuven! I had been looking at so many possibilities for that second bird but nothing seemed quite right, and I had not even thought of looking at a Palm Warbler. Of course looking at my "Warbler Guide" now it seems so obvious! lol! Palm Warbler it is!
