Bird ID help Please?

15 years ago

These lovely little green birds flew into my Weeping Cherry yesterday. They were scurrying busily and rapidly around the tree eating something on the tree. Although, I am normally pretty good with bird ID's, I am not finding these guys in my guides or on line. Some sort of Warbler maybe? Although I see a wide variety of bird species in my yard, I never get any Warblers. Thanks for help!!

Here is a link that might be useful:

Thanks so much orrin! That was the one that I was leaning towards, but in all of the pics I saw, the heads of the Tennessee looked sorta gray. Appreciate the help! Wow! I am excited to finally see a Warbler in my yard!

I was thinking wood thrush when I first saw it. My bird book says wood thrushes are summer birds in my area (southeast Georgia), so then I thought maybe a hermit thrush? Its tail is a redish brown color. I am not very good at this lol, but at least its fun!

Bn, Kenn, and Rachel, Thank you for your confirmations and comments. And Kenn, thanks too for the link. She was back again today. I'm saying "she" due to the small amt. of red on the throat. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, here's another pic!

Someone has since said that they think it could be a Winter Goldfinch (and when I googled images...yes, that looks pretty darn close to what I think I saw!)

So that's where my belted kingfisher went. I think they are so cool looking. Can hardly wait for spring to see them around here again.

Fall plumaged Tennessee Warbler doesn't have the grey head. They basically look like an Orange-crowned Warbler with white undertail coverts.

Oh Ok. Well, that splains it then orrin! I am such a bad Warbler ID person. I used to think that Sparrows were difficult, but now I am thinking that the Warblers are worse. They all seem to be green and/or yellow with some brown thrown in for good measure!! Thanks again for your help. I'd have never gotten it.
