I went up into the Clatsop Co Coast Range near Jewell to do some
butterfly work and stopped at the Jewell Meadows HQ while waiting
for the temperature to get up to butterfly speed.
Near the rest rooms I saw what was almost certainly a TENNESSEE
WARBLER in the crabapples: gray headed with a brightly contrasting
pale supercillium, whitish breast and under-tail coverts and greenish
back. I could not relocate it after grabbing my camera.
There was also at least one orestera-type ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER,
a female BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLER and a couple WILSON'S WARBLERS.
I also spent an hour at Coxcomb Hill earlier in the morning where
I saw about 30 WESTERN TANAGERS and a decent movement of warblers.
