Warblers are a challenge...

To me at least, identifying migratory warblers is a challenge. Perched as we are on the southern shore of Lake Erie, we become a stopping off point for many migratory birds on their way north. Some will stay here through the summer, but others are waiting for the weather to be favorable for the big flight across the Lake. Today there was a lot of activity in the park, mostly little birds flitting rapidly from branch to branch in the tree tops. My ratio of keepers to blurry, unidentifiable birds was pretty low. To my best guess, this one is a Yellow-rumped Warbler. Here is another shot of him. If anyone knows otherwise, I'm open to correction. I wish the photos were clearer, but he refused to sit still for a photo opp.
