Regina,
You might want to look at fall Palm Warbler.  The description sounds
good especially with the tail movement.  They use scrubby fields a lot
during migration and on their wintering grounds.

> Walking this pm at my parents farm, I saw a bird that had a  definite white eyebrow, short straight beak, some streaking on sides and breasts with some tannish brown wash on the sides.  It continually flipped its tail.  At first, I thought it was a red eyed vireo, but they have no streaking.  The other bird that I could find in the bird books was a waterthrush.  It was feeding in short trees in a brushy area in a field that has been allowed to just go back to nature with a lot of golden rood, etc.  I didn't think the streaking on my bird was as defined as the streaking on either waterthrush should be.  THe only yellow I could find was maybe a little wash under the tail/rear area.  Are waterthrushes coming south now?  Thanks for any ideas.
