    Certainly looks to be the case Billy, Reed Warblers are pretty elusive, well done capturing one.

    Actually on reviewing and zooming in a bit i think Catherine is closer with Sedge Warbler, they have a much wider and defined eye stripe.

    REALLY cool, Billy! I am so pleased for you to have seen what I've only (knowingly) seen in a pic!

    Rolf, only 'closer'?

    Now, I need a bigger boost than that from the guy who is the expert at ID'ing Crister's birds!

    LOL, well I say closer, as I find warblers really difficult to identify, as they can look so similar.
