Hoping I can get some confirmation on a couple of birds I spotted this morning at Sedgewick ...

Winter Wren ?

The first bird is definitely a winter wren. I'm leaning towards orange-crowned for the second. I think I can see the eye arcs, though the upper one is tough too see. It also is lacking the obvious eyebrow of a tennessee.

Hope this helps
Tim

If you have any photo showing the undertail coverts of the warbler it would settle the ID.

Thanks thouc ... I don't have any full undertail shots, but these two might help

Yes, those help. Definitely Orange-crowned with the yellow undertail coverts, Tennessee Warbler has white.
