BACKYARD BIRDS

ALL HELP APPRECIATED WITH ID!

I think that this is a Yellow-rumped Warbler. At least, that is my best educated guess!!


I also saw this in my garden this afternoon .At first I thought it was some kind of Grosbeak?, maybe a Towhee? but the closest I can find color wise is a Dark-eyed Junco but the bill is the wrong color and the size of the bird does not fit.




What do you think?Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!!

I'm retired now and also doing lots of photography. I enjoyed the article in the Courier Times. It would be great to speak with you again and talk photography! Debbie Glessner
