COBOLanders and OBOLanders,

This morning during a flurry of migrant activity at one of our water features, 
I had a bird that didn't look quite right for an Orange-crowned Warbler or a 
Nashville.

I was able to snap a few photos and post to eBird under Warbler sp.

The white eyering looks complete rather than broken, and I didn't notice any 
hint of an eyeline, but the head is greenish, not gray like a Nashville.  The 
undertail tail feathers appear whitish as well rather than yellowish for 
Nashville or Orange-crown.

The bill appears small and pointed.  Appreciate any feedback about this bird 
when you have time to peek at it.  Sorry I couldn't get better photos; very 
skittish around the water and in the aspens.

cheers,
Jim
