I visited the Weyanoke Sanctuary in Norfolk this afternoon (12/5) and found a 
Nashville Warbler foraging with two Ruby-Crowned Kinglets.  The Kinglets did 
not seem too happy about its presence, but I sure was!  At first I was 
expecting Orange-Crowned when I noticed the obvious differences from the 
Kinglets (no wingbars, bright yellow undertail coverts, slightly larger size).  
But with a different view I noticed the bright yellow throat/breast and a bold, 
white eye-ring.  The bird's grey head also contrasted sharply with the olive 
upperparts.
