This is the warbler that arrived this morning. I've got it labeled a blue-winged warbler but the faint mask has me wondering if it is a Cape May warbler.

Again, if it isn't what I think, please let me know what are the distinguishing characteristics.

The warbler above disappeared around 6:34 pm this evening. I thought it came back at 6:40 so i snapped a few other photos...you know...just in case.

What I got looks a lot like the previous bird but has increased streaking on its breast and a more prominent mask. This one I have as a Cape May warbler.

Hasty guess while watching tv: pine warbler.

I'm guessing Pine Warbler for both.

They are indeed both Pine Warblers. Cape May would have more fine streaking on the breast.

To say nothing about this being too early in the spring for Cape May in Kentucky.
