Two New Birds

When I’m at the computer, the birdbath is in view outside the window.  The other day I glanced up and saw this unfamiliar red-headed bird.  I had to look it up in the bird book as I’d never seen one before.  Turns out its name is Red-bellied Woodpecker which seems odd since there’s red on its head.  (The Red-headed Woodpecker has a completely red head, though.)  The Red-bellied Woodpecker does have red on its belly, but its very faint:

Here’s another bird that’s been around for the past several days:

Next is a closer look.  After consulting the bird book, I think its some type of warbler---maybe a Myrtle.  If you recognize it, please let me know.
