I've had a few recent small bird sightings during some big waves passing through with some cold fronts here in Florida - with a few I wasn't sure of and wanted to confirm IDs. Large numbers of pine, prairie, palm, yellow-rumped, black-and-white warblers, and blue-headed vireos have been in one cypress forest stand for a few consecutive weeks...most I could ID, but a few I don't feel confident with especially as these were not really good photos but more identification shots or fleeting shots as they hopped through the branches...all help appreciated:

I'm not sure on the second one, but I think the rest are Pine Warblers.

Pines were my tentative ID as well for those...hopefully some more input from others can second or clarify, and on #2 as well.

#2 is a Palm Warbler

OK, thank you. So we have #2 as palm, and the others so far as all pines...any additional verification/confirmations?

Agree with the others, all pine except palm for 2. Relatively large heavy bill in photos 1, 3, and 4 pretty much distinguish pine from most other warbler species.

Thank you. I'll consider that seconded and verified!

I agree. Certainly had to take a second look at a couple of them, though.
