Pretty little thing, for sure.<br /><br />Your description of running to get the camera had me howling. I've done the same thing so many time, except that I usually add tripping over a cat along to way to the list.Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17692541935507155362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815593684998812495.post-28325918895904374362011-09-25T10:56:44.794-04:002011-09-25T10:56:44.794-04:00Due to the very weak wing bars I would rule out it...Due to the very weak wing bars I would rule out it being a female Pine Warbler.Palm Warblers have bright yellow undertail coverts and this bird's are white. She seems to have an olive tinge and a faint eye stripe plus a short tail....so I am guessing that it is a migrating female Tennessee Warbler. Maybe this link will help confirm: http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Tennessee_Warbler/id<br />Congrats on your 1st Warbler sighting. A door has opened for you. BTW...Warblers are confusing to ID. <br />Very nice shots of this beauty!jeanlivingsimplehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08820800238853344959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815593684998812495.post-25924560574011090642011-09-25T05:49:02.393-04:002011-09-25T05:49:02.393-04:00I agree with the comment above, glad the bird hung...I agree with the comment above, glad the bird hung out for a while:@)Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13420480574010238475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815593684998812495.post-2647018127947584602011-09-25T03:22:39.960-04:002011-09-25T03:22:39.960-04:00I'm impressed that it stayed long enough for y...I'm impressed that it stayed long enough for you to get those great photos!

The sharp little bill should rule out vireo, and I think that the broad, washy eye stripes and lack of conspicuous wing bars fit TN Warbler, especially for a fall female or juvenile bird.
