[va-richmond-general] A bird in the hand.....

[Ann Brooks <acdbrooks@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

is NOT worth two in the bush, as it turns out.

Today I found a small warbler that had run into a store window and 
broken its neck.  So I picked it up and took it home to see if I could 
figure out what it was.  A half an hour and two bird guides later, I 
still didn't know.  So much for the bird in a hand...

It was 4 1/2 inches long, ,light/pinkish legs, definite olive back and 
tail, brownish head and wings with grayish underfeathers, medium bright 
yellow throat, pale yellow undertail coverts and pale yellow/white 
belly somewhat darker on the sides.

No wing bars, no streaking, no eye line, no supercilium and no eye ring 
(eyes were closed -- would that make a difference?
