Another warbler (?) ID, Northern Ohio, US (1 Viewer)

[prweasel]

I photographed this bird last week at Magee Marsh Wildlife Area along Lake Erie in Northern Ohio, but I'm struggling with the ID ... again. As much as I enjoy photographing warblers during spring migration at Magee Marsh, I always struggle (and dread) trying to identify new ones to my collection.

I assume this is a warbler of some sort (we probably saw more than 20 varieties of warblers that day). I want to be sure I have the ID correct before posting it to my two web sites: http://www.pathemlepp.com and http://www.pbase.com/hemlepp.

You assistance is greatly appreciated, as always.

Lovely shot of a Parula, highlighting two of its ID features, the green patch on its back and the eye arcs.

Yup! Northern Parula and nicely captured.

Thanks, everyone. That's the first Northern Parula in my collection. Great! I may have one or two more warblers to post for ID assistance. Looks like I got shots of about 15 different types this year. Then there's the flycatchers ... I may just give up and call them all Willow Flycatchers.

Then Congrats on your lifer and this beautiful record shot! :t:
