donkey herder, fowl friendY’all, what are these beautiful birds? I think they’re all the same species, so maybe a family with a fledgling?

ScottI saw this new friend in the backyard, and was only able to get a few pictures through the window before e flew off.

Lorenmet this warbler on the trail yesterday. i was walking along and was startled by a little yellow blur next to me. this guy was about a foot away hopping around in the leaves. i assumed after walking up and surprising them that they would quickly move on but instead they stuck around for way longer than i would have expected, not bothered at all by my presence. while i know that they are a warbler, they failed to introduce themself despite us now officially being friends. i thiiiiink they might be a blackpoll warbler but i am just not sure. feel free to let me know if i'm wrong with that one, warblers are tough....<a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#birds</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/ConfusingFallWarblers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ConfusingFallWarblers</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/warblers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#warblers</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/warbs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#warbs</a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/BirdID" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BirdID</a>

When I check my books and on eBird, and from my own recollection of those I encountered, then it should either be a Oenanthe oenanthe - Northern wheatear - Steinschmätzer, or a Saxicola rubetra - Whinchat - Braunkehlchen.I lean towards the first actually, but can't be 100% sure.To see data, statistics and where it's been reported --> <a href="https://ebird.org/species/norwhe" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://ebird.org/species/norwhe</a><a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Birds</a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/Birding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Birding</a> <a href="https://ioc.exchange/tags/BirdID" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BirdID</a>
