[va-richmond-general] warblers on the move

Looking out the bedroom window upon rising yesterday morning, I was greeted by a blue-winged and two magnolia warblers plus a female scarlet tanager, moving along as part of a larger flock of migrants. Could be just about anything in the next few weeks. Should be a bunch of veerys around in the next week or so.

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?
