Is this an Orange Crowned Warbler? Sorry about the poor quality, but I was watching some Juncos on my balcony today when I saw this bird. It was on my railing among my Fuchsia baskets, so I quickly grabbed my camera. It has a 150-500 Sigma lens, and trying to focus on a fast moving bird and not scare or spook it away but try to capture a photo of it through my balcony door was not too easy. This was the best picture I got so I hope you can figure it out. I did not expect to see warblers today, but, such is life. Everyday something new and different. Thanks, Klaus farm5.staticflickr.com/4838/32362778788_5726d78908_z_d.jpg

I would say it's a Nashville warbler. Even better than orange crowned IMO (as I haven't seen one yet)

Agreed, with the white eye ring and gray hood that’s a likely Nashville. Definitely rare for this time of year!
