Found this bird this morning knocked unconscious after flying into the library windows at school (Miami, FL). Need ID confirmation, my guess is female Black throated blue (Dendroica caerulescens). Don't worry, she recovered and flew off a short while after I took her picture.

I think you are right on! It looks like a female Black-throated Blue Warbler to me.

Have you considered Palm Warbler for these two Janine?

Hi Janine,

Great pictures! I agree with Spud. I think they are Palm Warblers, too. I've seen a Yellow-rumped Warbler. They are quite different from the warblers in your picture.

Yes, both species are common wintering warblers in the SE. The long supercilium and lack of wingbars eliminates Yellow-rumped. Very little yellow under, and the eyeline is really long, so it's likely from the midwest or central Canada.

A good pointer to Palm Warbler is the constant tail bobbing;I'd go for Palm from the photo.

That is a "interesting" shadow effect of the bird's tail (on the right). Yes, these are two Palm Warblers.

Yes, they did bob their tails a lot. Thanks everyone for the correct ID!

I saw my first Palm Warblers at Oak Hammock Marsh, Manitoba, and my first thought was "Hmm, Yellow Wagtail".
