Any help would be appreciated, thank you.

Bill is too thin for a Vireo. Looks good for Lucy’s Warbler.

Yes, with the chestnut rump, too, as well as faint chestnut crown.

Thank you!

Definitely agree with Lucy’s Warbler.

I'm ashamed to say I saw one of these in a cage in a pet store. I tried to tell the owner that it was illegal but he told me it was hand raised by a customer and that he had sold 2 of them. 😠😠

Surprised they were caged. Their sprightly song is appealing bur they are not gaudy birds

Owner was more interested in making money but I told him I would be stopping by frequently and if I see anymore wild birds I'd call and report him. He didn't treat me kindly after that.

Thanks Butty, My son was furious that I got the guy mad and told me not to go back there any more to be on the safe side.
