A new one for me. Not a Grasshopper Sparrow, the lovely yellow breast isn't mentioned in any Grasshopper Sparrow descriptions. Not a Kentucky Warbler, wrong head. And not a Bells Vireo, wrong range.

Small, ground hopping, extremely quick, insect eating bird in central Kentucky.

Thanks in advance, for I know one, or more of ya'll will know what this fellow is. Sorry for the questionable image, but he was a quick fellow hiding in the grass. Never really did get a look at him, or a second picture.

Maybe a female Dickcissel. It's hard to tell without seeing more.

Is it possibly a Blackburnian Warbler?

Thank you, but I don't think so, yellow not orange, and head markings are all wrong.

You may very well be correct. And I have been calling her a little fellow!

Thank you!

it looks like a warbler...I wonder if it is immature making id particularly difficult.

This is a tough one. Probably a young bird just fledged.

I don't know what he is, UXOEOD, but he's so pretty and this is a nice shot!
