Hi Jen,
I think it's an Orange-crowned Warbler of a different subspecies than we
are used to- orestera subspecies. Michele and I saw one at Fernhill on
11/17.
My ebird comments-
Brighter yellow than typical OCWA for this area. Bold yellow rump reminded
me of Palm Warbler. Gray hood contrasting with yellow body, white eye arcs.

It came up as "rare" on ebird- no Oregon records but there were some from
Vancouver, WA.
Of course I'm no expert. I'm basing this on an ID page I found-
