Swamp/Marsh Bird...?

I was looking for my nesting GBH...but I'm afraid the Great Horned Owl I captured the other day may have driven them off and possibly taken over the nest...I saw the owl fly by but no sign of the herons.

While I was waiting this little guy begged for a shot...so I took about a hundred.:D

The breeding plumage is probably throwing me off on an ID. I'm guessing some kind of warbler. :dunno

    That looks like a "butter butt" better known as a yellow rumped warbler in breeding plumage. Nice image of it too!

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
