Setophaga coronata coronata
The summer male Myrtle Warbler has a slate blue back, and yellow crown, rump and flank patch. It has white tail patches, and the breast is streaked black. The female has a similar pattern, but the back is brown as are the breast streaks.
More northeast in summer. Commonly found near streams plucking insects right out of the air.
A large number of these guys were causing quite a ruckus while I was fishing in the creek. Flying over the water, grabbing an insect, and flying back to the same spot they left from to eat.
