    Frozen water, spinning bird. This is another where the water was caught, but the bird moves so fast that it is blurred. I also will post one later with the some moving water. ID after a few guesses, or sooner if someone is right.

    I'd agree with Artie on the warbler concept but I would go for a Yellow-breasted Chat. How 'bout it?

    No prize Steve?!!

    Actually the YBCH is one of my nemesis birds- I've been to the breeding habitat at Point Pelee, been to Pelee several times and only seen a fleeting glimse of yellow. I guess they do exist although I'm still doubtful!

    He had better get you a prize. In retrospect, I see that long olive tail.... IAC, great ID skills.

    This was taken in West Texas. I have not been to point Pelee. Perhaps some day. The prize is an atta boy- well done.
