I got these two pictures this morning in the marsh. I think the first one is some kind of warbler, and I have no idea what the second bird is.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Happy Birding :t:

The warbler is a Palm, can't see much on the other bird, the light isn't great

Awesome! Thanks so much for the warbler ID.
Yeah, the second two pictures aren't very good at all. It appeared to be a small, dark blue-gray bird with a light colored front. Maybe someone can take a stab at IDing it! .:t:

Shape of the second one reminds me of a bluebird, maybe a non-male (as you said light breast) eastern bluebird?

Never considered bluebird, but it could be. But there were a few of them and I didn't see any orange chests. What about Blue-gray Gnatcatcher?

Thanks, Niels!

Blue-gray Gnatcatcher has a different shape, sort of like cottonball with a tail stuck on one side. It has a very small body with a proportionately long tail. It tends to perch in a horizontal position, not sitting upright like your chunky-bodied bird.

I was thinking it was a flycatcher but I just can't tell from the picture.
