This morning along the Rocky River in the metroparks (near the
parking lot across the street from the Rockcliff exit) I saw two
small birds that I think were warbling vireos, but I am not entirely
sure.  They were the right size and color, but they were much
fluffier than most of the sleek-looking photos I have seen of these
birds.  They almost looked like miniature phoebes.    Is it
possible they could have been anything other than warbling vieros?
They were tan on top, white underneath and had a very feint eye
line.  Maybe the feathers were fluffed out because it was so windy?
I found this photo online and it's the only one that looks like what
I saw (as I say, the other photos are much sleeker):

Thanks for any help.
