Spotted these guys at the forest preserve.



I know this is a sparrow, but can't figure out which kind.

ok i hope im right lol i think the first one is a common yellow throat female?? looks similar to the females i have seen around my area, and i believe the second is a song sparrow

( crossing fingers that im right) lol

hopefully someone can confirm??

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.
