I would guess female house.

I would guess female house.

Thank you, that is what I was leaning toward.

Some sort of Mallard? Merlin was no help. It listed a few off the wall names.

I find these mixy ducks confusing. I read this article, it is interesting.

Thanks CS!

I was told this is a Tennessee Warbler. Not sure. Merlin did verify the other day. Today it didn't.

Northern Parula?

Blackpoll Warbler?

I've been told this is a Yellow Rumper Warbler.

This pdf guide from WarblerGuide.com is very useful for this sort of sighting using the Underview page

I thought it was the northern parula, but Merlin didn't give that choice.

EDIT: Copilot says palm warbler. Doesn't look like any PW's I've ever seen.

 

[wev]

I think it is an immature female black-throated blue warbler

 

[Marilynne]

Thanks wev! That was one of the choices Merlin gave, but it didn't look like any of the photos.

Glad to see you're still visiting the site. Hope everything is okay with you and the family.

Merlin told me a Philadelphia Vireo.

 

[Marilynne]

Thanks Robin for looking.

Three other sources confirm the Black Throated Blue Warbler.

i haven’t red all the comments but I use two tools. First is the Merlin app, free, by Cornell Lab of Ornithology, and the second is a simple Google image search

I checked Merlin and the first bird on the list was the Black Throated Blue Warbler, but none of the pictures seemed to match mine. Same for the other choices on their list.
