Warblers Incognito

Uh-oh, Science Chimp is in quiz mode. I'll start you off easy here, with a gimme. Tennessee warblers don't look all that different in fall than they do in spring. If anything, they're prettier in fall, with subtle grays and bright grass-greens blending in their plumage.

I'm always trying to get good shots of distinctive behavior in the birds I observe, and I'm over the moon to have documented the Tennessee warbler's fondness for flowers and nectar.

The Gartenmeister fuchsia in a pot beneath my studio window is the object of his desire.

 With his needle-fine bill, he probes deep into the corolla.

Oh thank you, little warbler, for showing me this thing I could so easily have missed, you being as green as the leaves.

All right. No more Mrs. Nice Science Chimp. You have some conundra to solve. I'll start you off sort of easy.  Mystery Bird #1. Everything you need to see on this bird is visible in this photo. I know, light's bad, but it's there.

Mystery Bird #2. Ditto. There's one clue in this shot that seems terribly insignificant but clinches the ID.

 

The next three photos are all of the same bird, Mystery Bird #3. The first photo, odd as it seems, has everything you need to ID it. Hee hee hee.

 

OK, I'll give you the side of its little face.

 

I know, it doesn't help much. Unless you're into subtleties. 

And if you're still stumped, here's its throat. Jeez, giving this thing to you on a silver platter.

I'll let y'all stab at these three for awhile, and let you know who got them all right in the comments section. Have fun! Eee! Eee! Eeeeeeeee!
