What the heck? I don't know what species of warbler that is. I don't have my warbler ID guides with me at the moment, but, by process of elimination, it seems to be a hybrid of some combination.
Regardless, it's a nice capture.
Regarding yellowlegs, they are fun to watch because their prey items are large enough that you actually identify the family or order that the prey belongs to.
Addendum:
The warbler has the right facial pattern, flank streaking, back pattern, and wing bars for Blackburnian Warbler. However, the yellow (seen in first-winter females) extends much farther onto the belly and is exceptionally brighter than most Blackburnians.
