What state is Green Lane Reservoir in? You may also want to cross-post this to the birdwatching forum.

They are nature's garbage men! I live near a park with mature trees that is sandwiched at the intersection of two busy roads. The turkey vultures settle in on a garage roof across from the park a block from the intersection and just have a buffet! They are magnificent.

Looks like a domestic pigeon that probably escaped from its owner or didn't find it's way home. Head structure doesn't look like a Homing pigeon.

Probably not. Herons can eat some prey that would appear to be too large, and I've seen other heron species catch prey and try to swallow them even though they actually were too large. To give you an idea of what green herons can do, go to this site* and scroll the photos to see the ones of the green heron catching, and the next of it eating, a sunfish.

It was decided on the Birding forum that it is a winter plumage Chestnut-Sided Warbler. The chestnut can sometimes persist on the sides of the bird through winter. The rest of the field marks match too: eye ring, yellowish-green on head and back, 2 wing bars.

Uncle Tall, I think you're right, it looks like a "vireo solitarius" to me. Peg

This bird is missing the "spectacles" that a vireo has. It has an eye-ring though. I still stand by Chestnut Sided Warbler.
