I am visiting my daughter in Southwest Virginia, almost the Tennesse line and we are in the mountains. As I flew here, I only have 1 reference with me and it is not detailed on the fall warblers. I saw 2 warblers today. The first, I am pretty sure, is a Yellow-rump Myrtle. The broken eyering had me excited for a moment as we are on the narrow migration path of the Kirtland here, but I see a yellow patch near the back. , the second I am just not sure. The eye-ring is huge. Is it a Pine Warbler? Thanks

Wow, Magnolia was not on my list of likely suspects. I've seen Spring Magnolias, what a difference! What is the key to the ID? It is the biggest eye ring I've ever seen.

Not many fall warblers have extensive, bright underparts like this in contrast to darker wings and head. The white wing-bars rule out most of the others that could be yellow below (Canada, Prairie, Palm). Male Pines could show wing-bars, but they will lack this prominent eye-ring and contrasting yellow rump.

Wish I had my Sibley's Warbler flyer with me! Maybe I would have caught that. I had ruled out the ones without the wing bars which is why i guessed Pine. Thanks
