Hey all,

I had a female Canada Warbler circa 11 a.m. yesterday at Benson Pond.

Female bird.  It was in the second of the willows in the entry row of huge
willows. I had a clear, unobstructed view from about 15 feet  (8 feet
high)  for about 15-20  seconds. It then went farther back into the tree
and I lost it. I continued to look for 30-40 minutes to try to get a photo
but it didn't reappear.

Noted well:

- blue-ish or dark gray upperparts (sans wingbars)

- Conspicuous eye ring with very conspicuous (on this bird) yellow supra
loral

- Entire underparts yellow with the exception of.....

-  White undertail coverts

streaking (necklace) must not have been very pronounced as I did not note it


good birding,
Tom
