thanks! I see them all the time, but this is the first time this close. warmed him up, made sure he wasn't hurt, and released him off the balcony :)

My guess is that it’s a Black and White Warbler, but its tail feathers look a little off to me.

I’m pretty new to birding, so I could be wrong.

Black-and-white Warblers are practically zebra striped. Really high contrast, stripes all over the whole body, not just the head. Also, they're currently much further south.
