Two more South Florida migrators this weekend (1 Viewer)

This past weekend, I once again had good migration activity - it's slowing a bit, but still a few dozen species moving through the forests. As always, I have a few I just couldn't be 100% sure of or couldn't identify, so hopefully there's enough info in the following shots to get some IDs from the good folks here:

1. I feel like this is probably a juvenile prairie warbler, but not used to seeing the white around the eye areas like this:

2. This guy looked like some kind of flycatcher...I thought...though could be something completely different - I had previously gotten an Acadian, but it had much clearer wing bars and looked different. Not very good shots of this guy, out of focus, so there's two shots which are hopefully enough to ID:

Ah - black-throat blue - hadn't thought of that. D'oh! There are tons around - and most are very nicely colored males on full display - I got so used to seeing them in their full male color that I overlooked that possibility on this one. Many thanks on both IDs.
