fall plumage of the yellow rumped warbler. Warblers are very drab in the fall/winter.

looks song to me too.

I don't think its a song, it didn't have the "dot" on the chest. But it also didn't look like the others I've seen around (swamp, savannah)...

Someone told me the warbler's were Tennessee, but I didn't think the Tennessee had wing bars, so I'm going with your ID

Sorry, missed the 3rd warbler image and thought palm(but typed YR... long day). Still looks more palm warbler over tennessee due to the boldish wing bars.

I'm a bit rusty on fall warblers :mad2:


most streak breasted sparrows have a "dot" and the few that don't CAN'T be this bird Song is the educated guess.
