I believe this is a Wilson's warbler and probably a juvenile. Where I live in Washington state, we get very few warblers. I typically see one or two per year in my neighborhood. I wish they were more common.

Very nice image, I'm glad you were able to take a photo of a species not common in your area; always a rewarding feeling.

Very pretty background for this yellow bird. Nice dynamic pose. I'd say this is a Yellow Warbler, based on the under-tail being yellow. A Wilson's would have dark tail feathers.

Moby, An excellent catch. Looks more like a Yellow Warbler to me.

Nice dynamic image of this warbler. As per other comments, I also believe it is a female Yellow Warbler. However, I am not overly familiar with Wilson's Warblers as I've only encountered two males.
