Help with Green Cay IDs - Tennessee warbler, Western Tanager?
I have a few birds from Green Cay over the last two weekends...lots of migrants have been passing through and it has been getting busier there. Most of the 'usuals' that I recognize with lots of warbler, vireo, redstart, gnatcatcher, etc...but a few I couldn't get a good ID on. For the most part, these were birds that wouldn't cooperate for the camera and the shots are just barely good for ID purposes - nothing gallery worthy. I tried posting them on an international bird board, and most of the IDs of the above birds seemed to come down to a possible western tanager for the first bird in the first two photos, despite being a rarity for FL. And the best guess for bird #2 seemed to be Tennessee warbler - the bird in the last 3 shots.
I'd appreciate any help - both would be first-time shots for me, so even though not good shots, they'd still document some new birds for my list.

You're IDs are correct. Bird #1 is a Western Tanager and Bird # 2 is a Tennessee Warbler.
Thank you Brian. Very happy to hear that! Never shot either one before.
