This morning as I was sitting outside my home (deciduous hardwoods, low growing Dogwood and shrubs) I saw a warbler with a very prominent eye ring.  Fall warblers can be a task for me.  How likely, given the date and habitat, that I saw a Connecticut?  Or a Nashville?  I was able to identify a Chesnut-Sided a few seconds later.
We do have Kinglets in the yard occasionally, but I'm almost certain that this was a warbler.  The "jizz" was all wrong for it to be a Kinglet.
