Bird ID
I'm guessing this is a species of warbler... photographed this afternoon in Quogue, NY. There were many Cedar Waxwings feeding in the area and this tree is at the edge of a pond if that's any help. Thanks in advance

Looks like a 1st year American Redstart!

How about this bird?

Luke I posted a similar ID request on 7/31/11 and was identified by Ian Stanley as juvenile Eastern Towhee. May be the same.
