  1. 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.

  2. 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.  

  3. Saw this bird on Pig Island in Saint Joseph Bay near Port Saint Joe, Florida on January 12, 2021.  It seemed to be a little smaller than a Great Egret, and the bill has a lot of black.  The picture that shows it near what appears to be a Great Blue Heron is included for size comparison.
