This wasn't my ID call, but I look at all warblers for something simple and I
learned by trial and error in the beginning that if I look at the leg color and
vent, I can narrow ID down in confusing birds. This bird pointed to Blackpoll
with those two items. The old Warbler Guide by Dunn/Garrett has two pages of
vents that is my Bible of Warbler ID.
