Wow, Backpacker great birds...never have seen the Tanager up close. The other birds are Common Yellowthroat, the Yellow-throated Warbler is found a little more south of NY and have grayish blue feathers with different markings.

Thanks Chris,
I had to look up the Tanager, I knew it wasn't an Oriole and couldn't think of any other Orange birds.
Correction made on the Common Yellowthroart.
