    Default A little help please?

    This little guy has been hanging around our backyard feeders and set-ups. I would appreciate any ID thoughts. I thought it might be a Palm Warbler, but I am not sure. Thanks again for your help.

    This is an especially drab Pine Warbler.

    Agreed it's a Pine Warbler. It appears to be molting in some breeding plumage on the head and lores.

    Thanks! I appreciate the info. Does the molting indicate that this might be a immature bird? This picture was taken a month or so ago and the bird does have a little more color.

    These guys are fast and always moving. I photographed one last week who stayed partially hidden in bushes. It was more colorful but then again the light was good that morning.

    I will post the image this weekend.

    Sorry, but I don't know Pine Warbler plumages well enough to determine age or sex on this bird.
