Warbler mix - Tennessee, pine, palm? - South Florida (1 Viewer)

[Zackiedawg]

Shooting a bunch of warblers passing through south east Florida this weekend, and having difficulty confirming what some of these are. Some other photographers were reporting a batch of birds we were shooting as Tennessee warblers, but they didn't sound 100% convinced. I thought I recognized a palm at one point, and some others I thought could be palm, but had some odd features that threw off my confidence. All help appreciated. If any of these actually are Tennessee warblers, that would actually be a lifer for me.

1. My best guess was immature female pine warbler?

2. Same guess as above:

3. This one with the yellow under the tail I thought was a palm warbler, but that bushy white eyebrow is throwing me off:

4. Here come the batch of birds that were being called Tennessee warblers...starting with this one:

5. Tennessee?

6. Tennessee?:

7. Tennessee?

8. I'm fairly certain this is a pine warbler:

I'm probably wrong but I'm leaning towards a Palm Warbler.

Ha! I only looked at the first photo.

Many thanks. I'm glad to hear those were indeed Tennessees. I'm not familiar with them having never seen them before - so that's a lifer to add to the list!

Congrats on your lifer Justin!

Image 8 looks like a Tennessee Warbler to my eye.

Image 8 is gone, so I think you are talking about #7?

 

[Brian J Small]

For me:

1 and 3 Palm
2 Pine
Rest Tennessee

For me:

2 Pine

But I see no hint of any wing bars, face entirely plain (no contrasting throat etc), reasonable evidence of a supercilium etc so surely must be palm.

(It's so plain I wondered, just for a moment, about orange-crowned. But it's not that)

I couldn't see the last image

The first two are Palm Warblers to my eye.

Sorry I dropped that last photo from my gallery. And thanks for the congratulations, KC. The end of this year has been surprisingly good for both lifers and rarities. The Tennessee warbler, followed by a yellow warbler and a Wilson's warbler (all lifers)...plus the rarities: ruddy duck and ring-necked duck, And over the summer, got my first fulvous whistling ducks (I had previously only seen a hybrid black-bellied/fulvous).

Now with image 8 gone, I will list the IDs in order of what is currently visible to avoid confusion.

1. Palm Warbler
2. Palm Warbler
3. Palm Warbler
4. Tennessee Warbler
5. Tennessee Warbler
6. Tennessee Warbler
7. Tennessee Warbler

In addition to The Ferns points, the yellow undertail coverts on 2 also rule out Pine as they have white (or white-ish) undertail coverts in all plumages.
