Warbler?
Sorry about the quality of this photo, I got a couple of quick shots and it was gone. Any help in ID will be appreciated. My guess is a green throated warbler.



Taken with a Canon T1i, Sigma 150-500 at 500, ISO 400, 1/320 @ f-10, on a tripod, manual focusing, a good distance away. Taken in Central Illinois.

John,

From what I can see this appears to be a first summer (immature, ~10 months old) male Orchard Oriole.

Bob, I do believe you are correct, as I did a web search which confirms your ID. Also, the bird I thought to be a red start is an adult male orchard oriole. Thanks for your help.

Beautiful shade of yellow on that bird.
