Thanks! Great tip!

Bump

Looks like female Bay-breasted.

Seen 5/1 in south N. Jersey. Looks like it swallowed a grapefruit but Long-billed would be unusual in the spring.

Branches in the way seem to be a common theme

That was it!!

Thanks, really like yours too. I forget sometimes, what's common for some is a rarity for others.

Thanks very much!!

Don't remember the exact title but we had a similar thread on the old forum. Got pictures of common birds that you're proud of then post them here.

Thinking MacGillivray's Warbler. Never seen one personally though so wait for other opinions.

Sorry, didn't know if you had binoculars or not, that's why I asked. For what it's worth, I know many birders that have binoculars but no camera.

Will you be carrying binoculars? I've never used one myself but there are many digiscoping adapters made for binoculars & I imagine you would at least be able to get usable ID shots. Here's what I found with a Google search, https://www.google.de/searchq=digiscoping+adapters+for+binoculars&source=univ&tbm=shop&tbo=u&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiHrdi50uHdAhXpmOAKHYAvAr4QsxgIKg&biw=1517&bih=737
