Migrating birds. I need help to ID them.

For the last few days I have these migrating birds visiting my back yard. I have a hard time to ID them. The Fall plumage of these birds is so different then in the spring and summer.

Nice photo. Possibly Cape May Warbler. But don't take my word for it, I tend to be wrong more than right. I'm sure others better at bird ID will give you the correct ID.

MerlinBird claims your bird is a "palm warbler." In springtime the cap on this bird is a more colorful reddish brown. MB also states your bird is of the "western" population b/c of the tan overall color. The "yellow" population is as the name suggests. Palm warblers winter in the southern U.S., the Yucatan Peninsula and other Caribbean locations. Nice photograph.

I just checked out merlinbird. I'll have to download that app. It even helps to ID by sound.

Thank's for checking and the additional info. I think you are correct. It's also a Warbler visiting me in the Spring migration. They are still here this morning.

Merlin Bird ID is a great app for anyone who has an interest in birds. I carry that and another named "Picture This." This app allows me to photograph any plant form and it gives me all kinds of information about it. I spend most daylight hours outside and these apps let me know what I am enjoying by it's name.

Thanks David. I actually have a plant ID app but it's not al that accurate. I'll check out the one you recommended

I'm thinking it's a Palm Warbler too. Not as colorful as my photos of one, but maybe the Fall version.?
