What kind of bird is this?
By: R. Neal

Can you tell from this not so good photo? We're thinking a warbler of some kind. Maybe a Tennessee Warbler? Seen along Rich Mountain Tower Rd. today. Larger version and some more not so good photos after the break that might help...

Definitely a Blue-headed Vireo - thick black bill (not delicate like most warblers) and white spectacles around the eyes seals the identification; Blue-headeds typically show this nice contrast between green back and blue head too. A common early migrant.

Thanks, Dr. Andy. That was my other guess.

Steve, this guy wasn't as yellow, and his/her belly (which you can't see very well in these photos) was snowy white.

Now that it has been pointed out to me, it looks just like a vireo.

He's beautiful. What's his singing sound like?
