RFI -Warbler

[Napper]

Hey folks

I thought I knew what this was. Now not so sure?
The tree was filled with Warblers early morning. Haven't seen them since.
Sorry about the quality, it was a long ways off and moving all over the place.

Thanx in advance,

Napper?

The only one that I can get to fit is Prairie warbler.

It has bright yellow eyebrow, yellow patch below eye, is bright yellow below with streaks on side and neck.

That would be a nice find, if I'm correct. I have never seen one myself so I'm not completely sure.

Yellow breast, dark triangular face patch and streaking on the sides.
Blackburnian Warbler
Rayfield Pye

That sounds more likely, but in my book the Blackburnian is only yellow on the breast and white on the belly. The bird in the picture looks yellow both on breast and belly.

Napper, did you notice any wing bars?

Hey Folks

I think this is the same bird but not sure. They were moving around alot.



this is an entirely different bird same series of shots within seconds in same tree

If that's the same bird it certainly looks like it has a white belly and undertail in the second picture, so then I also go with Blackburnian.

My guess for the second bird is a female/immature Wilson's Warbler due to the yellow body, dark tail and eye ring.
