Hi Bill et al.:

The bird is decidedly a Blackburnian.  Though the upperparts picture is blown 
out (overexposed), the white braces are still obvious.  Additionally, Blackpoll 
would never show any hint of orange below, and in fall is decidedly greenish 
there.

Good job, Bill.

      I think this is a female 1st winter Blackburnian warbler which I saw at 
the 
Florence River park today but I would appreciate any comments

  I also got to see the Black and Eastern phoebes that SeEtta had reported.
 
Thanks

      I have received several replies, some people think this bird is a 
blackpoll 
and others think it is a blackburnian.
 
Here are a couple more pictures that sort of show the back of bird::
