Pure Evil Contest
And now a contest of diabolical proportions! Mwa ha ha ha ha. The prize:
An autographed copy of the fabulous Letters from Eden by Julie Zickefoose. This is a special prize so we figured this deserved a special contest with photos provided by Julie herself. Evil. Below are the rules, please follow them carefully:
1. You must correctly identify the bird in the photo below AND come up with a funny caption to go with the Chet Baker photo below--the reasons are two fold--A. sometimes anonymous commenters like to hot dog the id contest so that's why the added level of a humorous caption and B. for my personal amusement! Evil!
2. The contest will be judged by me with heavy influence from Cinnamon and Non Birding Bill. Please keep the humorous captions PG-13, and if I find any too raunchy, they'll be deleted.
3. All comments that wish to be eligible for the prize, MUST come with a name attached--you can still post under an anonymous identity but your name must be at the end of the comment.
4. If someone correctly identifies the bird and has a funny caption but with no name will NOT win the prize. If you just want to take a stab at the id and not go for the prize that's fine, I will not confirm who correctly identified the bird until I find the magical combo of correct id, funny caption and name to go along with it. This contest could last a few hours or a few days.
5. You can enter more than once.
6. Even if you feel shaky on your bird id, give it a shot, you have as good of chance as anyone else. This is a tough bird, just do your best.

Whoops...I guess this is a "home grown" photo taken in MN and you said we could guess more than once so here I go again.
Black-throated Green Warbler.
Chet Says: Yeah, last night is a little fuzzy for me too but I honestly have no idea where your clothes went! (Burp)

OR:
Blue-winged warbler
and
The use of barbie dolls as raptor bait was a sometimes controversial subject. Chet Baker claimed to have "rescued" this one from the evil banders, and that honestly, it was like that when he found it.
Immature Chestnut-sided Warbler.

Non-contender in CT
black-throated green warbler
Chet plots his next evil-doing as Barbie Au Naturel, horrified by the state of her coiffure, recoils in fear while anxiously awaiting tangle salvation from her beloved Ken.
All my favorite captions are getting the bird wrong. Dang! But ooh, this is FUN!
Chet Baker
I'm going with Black Throated Green as well.
"Who says only cats cough up furballs?"
Immediate reaction was black throated green but a lot of folks have put that id up
Chetism:
Me, a lecher?
Bird: Blue-winged Warbler
From the Dog: "Only crazy people (aka Birders) would try identifying a fall warbler's posterior; they should act more normal like me."
Black-throated green warbler.
Chet-
Heh heh heh heh....what barbie? What skipper....?
I still think it's a gtg warbler.
However, just so I can do another caption, how about a goldfinch.
Chetism:
Damn paparazzi
Curse you, I'm hooked.
Did you have a stray golden cheeked warbler?
Chetism:
Those CSI people will never catch me!!
This is my last chance I'm out of captions.
OK, another bird guess:
Female Pine Warbler.
But, I can't think of another Chet caption, so I guess this is a non-competition entry.
~Kathi
Bird - Autumn Bay-Breasted Warbler
Chet - I found her like this! Honest!
HY female Cerulean Warbler? The wingbars and short tail look right, but that head/back is awfully yellow for Cerulean.
What happens in Ohio, stays in Ohio....
How about a Yellow-throated
Vireo
Chet Baker says:
"Whatchoo lookin' at?"
Sorry, forgot to leave my name.

Alright, I'm going with my initial gut feeling and will have to say pine warbler (if so, very tricky).
Another chetism...
What can I say? Perhaps its my handsomeness or maybe my superb pedigree but one glance in my direction and even the unsullied maiden weakens and swoons.
HINT:
The bird has been correctly identified in more than five posts in the comments section.
I'm going to keep the contest going until Friday--you people are cracking me up. Plus I'm going out of town and feeling indecisive. You have til Friday to adjust ids and captions or add new ones.
OK, I will say Black-throated
Green Warbler...
and Chet Baker still says:
"Whatchoo lookin' at?"
Hap Huber
Okay
This is really the last one.
After consulting The Cornell Lab of Ornithology it looks like the north view of a south bound blue winged warbler.
Chetism:
Barbie: not just for breakfast any more.
Hey, give me a break, I've already used my "A" material.
Ric
Black-throated Green
Chet says: "And I'll chew ALL the presents! The pop guns! The drums! I'll chew up the tricycles, popcorn and plums!!"
Wendi
Black throated green
Chet Baker shows off a haggard barbie that was caught in the mist net. You can tell them apart from the passage barbies, which brighter plumage and not as much dog spit.
Black throated Green Warbler
Chet Says: Oh my word Barbie! You are bad, so bad but I happen to like bad!!!
Stacy W. in ND
I have to admit it does look
like a Blue-winged Warbler.
Chet Baker still says:
"Whatchoo lookin' at?"
What can I say, I'm stuck in
a rut (or creative block).
Hap Huber
Black-throated Green.
Yeah, baby. Who's yo daddy!?!
Black-throated Green Warbler
Yo, das wut I'm talkin bout, dawg!
Black-throated Green Warbler
Girl you ain't know, I'm crazy like Krayzie Bone!
Blue-winged warbler
C.S.I.'s true meaning:
Canine Self-Incrimination
One more try and that's all...
blue-winged warbler
A disgrace to doll-kind. Chet disapproves of Barbie au Naturel's brazen advances. Though, as he pushes her away with one paw he can't help but wonder the result of such a reunion....little Boston Barbies?
Sorry, it's late, let me try that post again...
