The bird was heard only.  Metallic buzzy call similiar to Blue-winged Warbler 
but clearly different and with more notes. I heard the bird call several times 
from my deck, apparently very skittish, once I started walking around the yard 
it stopped calling and wasn't heard again. Call was clearly 
Bezzzz-bzz-bzz-bzz-bzz, strong first syallable followed by 4 shorter notes. Was 
in old field habitat with scattered patches of saplings/blackberry thickets. 
First Golden-winged for my yard and first one i've come across in several years 
now. Looking through eBird reports, not completely unusaul for April but is a 
little early.
