They all look like Yellow-rumps to me, but the first looks a tad like a Cape May. However, the side patch seems pretty darn strong...

I thought (1) Yellow-rumped Warbler (2) & (3) Blackpoll Warbler. I can't decide on (4).

I strongly believe that 1, 2, and 4 are definetly Yellow-rumps, and as for 3, it sure looks awfully yellow on the underside, I'll let Thayeri or somebody call that one

They're all Yellowrumps. Michael, take a look at that last one's throat and head pattern. The strong yellow color is probably caused by the lighting - it does not look like natural to me.

aww shame that they are ALL Yellow rumps - I was hoping at least one of them would have been a Lifer The 3rd one really DID have an all Yellow breast though - it wasn't a trick of the Light - I was watching it for over 10 minutes . For awhile I was thinking it was a Pine Warbler.
thankyou Brown Creeper for your help.

Agree with Niel, 1,2,4 is Yellow-rumped, 3 also, but can it be this yellow?

now someone just suggested picture 3 could be a Magnolia Warbler in Fall plumage --arggggh

but If you guys say they are all Yellow Rumps then that's what I'll take

Hi nicovich!
Have a look at this nice warbler site. There you will see that Magnolia Warbler has white undertail coverts and almost a complete eye ring among other differences.
