Looks to me like an Orange-crowned Warbler...although the black line that appears to be near the eye is deceiving. However, there are few warblers (especially the coloration of your bird) around this time of year, even in TX, but Orange-crowneds commonly winter in the southern states and do come to feeders occassionally.

How EXCITING!! I hardly ever get to see any Warbler here. Welcome to the forum, and please keep posting!! :o)

Thanks for the help. Can't tell for sure if that's what it is, but it could be from the pictures I saw. I took some pictures again today and maybe I can see the top of the head this time to see if there's any orange. He's fun to watch anyway. The only thing this one has that I haven't found in any pictures is like a necklace of black around his neck.

I'm going to try to upload another picture using Photobucket so maybe you can see it at a larger size.

I think this picture will work. Sorry for the confusion.

Here is a link that might be useful:

It looks like an Orange-crowned to me, incidently they rarely show the Orange crown.

Thank you both for your identification of the bird for me. Tonight I looked at some of my pictures real close up (including some I took today) and could barely see a little orange on the top of his head so am sure that it is the orange crowned warbler. Don't know if I've ever seen one before. We sometimes get the pine warbler.

I believe it is a Nashville Warbler. Maybe starting on its way north out of southern Texes :-) hope, hope! I really do think it is a female Nashville Warbler, its coloration and especially with the black legs.

Nashville Warbler has a full white eye ring, among other differences.

Dear -O-,
Yes, I see now upon further investigation (outside of my bird book). I guess I need a new book. I went to www.giffbeaton.com/warblers.htm and I totally agree with the Orange-crowned Warbler.
