I have several shots here, to give you different angles and perspective. Please put in a comment as to what bird you think this is, noting the very narrow beak and the bars on the wings. I hope I at least get comments from cousin Lyn and also Bama.
Resting on Myron's head. It liked Myron's hair!
Here it is eating on half of a grape. The tether it is standing on is one inch wide.

A good close-up, on Myron's finger:
On Myron's glasses. Such a friendly and demanding bird!
Let me know if you can identify our special visitor!
The other visitor that day was a barn swallow. I did not get a picture of him inside the cabin because it was nighttime and I would have had to use a flash, which would have disturbed him substantially.
Love to all,
Dena

AHA. After some research, I believe that may be a blackpoll warbler. :)
"Blackpoll warblers are among our most impressive long-distance migrants, tallying thousands of miles each year between Canada and South America. Their migratory route includes a nearly two-thousand-mile stretch over the Atlantic Ocean, a flight that lasts more than three days. That's a long time to fly without stopping to fuel up or rest!"

Myron and Dena,
Welcome home! Our best guess for the ID of you mystery bird is a pine warbler, great photos of its visit. Glad you were able to give a spot to rest offshore.
