The past week has been cold and overcast, not conducive to wandering around Cape Cod or even Chatham with my camera. But earlier this week I spotted this little fellow. At first I though it was an American Goldfinch, but upon closer inspection I realized that the color was wrong and even the body shape was very different, much rounder and/or full then a Goldfinch. I believe it may be a warbler, but I am still unsure so if anyone reads this and can ID my little friend, please let me know.
What has been interesting is that I have only spotted this solitary loner; very unusual during the spring migration time when it is more common to see different visitors in large numbers.
The sun is scheduled to make an appearance tomorrow and I plan on being ready, in spite of my latest calamity - apparently I broke several toes in my left foot. I though I had one broken, but as usual, I overindulged.

Thanks to help from Andrew, we are fairly certain that my little yellow friend is a Pine Warbler. Sadly, like my Bluebirds, he appears to have moved on as I have not seen him for almost a week.
