Here is what Merlin identified as the Yellow-throated Warbler every time it did a chip call. You can hear it at 5 seconds and 8 seconds.

Saw this bird on Jan 18th on the Yucatan, specifically Valladolid. Merlin identified its call as Yellow-throated Warbler. Did my best with my phone camera. Got many angles, but not the throat. It was flitting about in the top of a palm tree just after dawn.
Hoping somebody can work with these pictures.

Thanks, Charlie

If I hanger a feeder at a beach house (surrounded by dunes and grasses) on St George Island, Florida in November, will I get any birds? I saw Palm Warblers, but nary a Chickadee, Titmouse nor Finch.

Thanks for the confirmations. I hope to get better pics soon.

Thanks to all repliers. The size is about right for Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. My first thought looking at the first picture was a long downturned bill. Zooming in, I think it is the bug. Other pics confirm the bug theory. I ruled out Blue-gray Gnatcatcher because of color; hence "no clue". I guess color is not reliable due to photo being back-lit.

I put dried meal works in my feeders on purpose to attract eastern phoebe, northern mockingbirds and carolina wrens ?
Thanks!

Eastern Phoebe is correct. All About Birds says they'll occasionally eat fruits and seeds. It's a young one with the cinnamon wingbars, so it was probably curious.
Thanks. Makes sense.

Thanks for the Snowy Egret confirmation. I'll start a new topic for the heron.

Thanks to all for the quick replies. I have seen this bird before, but not when I had a good camera. Life list just got a little longer.

It could be an immature male at this time of year.
Thanks, The Bird Nuts. I'll definitely be on the lookout for the whole family.

Purple Finch. The strong face pattern and thick, short, dark, streaking eliminate House Finch.
Thanks, Kevin. My life list is longer now. ?
I see it now. I have been looking for my first Purple Finch for years, ruling out thousands of male House Finches. I never looked for the female. I should have.

Nice photo. They are hard to photograph
Thanks, hbvol50. 2000 shutter speed helped, but it was not flitting about as much as the first time we saw it. I wonder if it was looking for the source of the call it heard from my girlfriend's phone.
