I birded McKinney Falls S.P. this morning for three hours.  I only found one 
warbler.  It was in the trees along  Onion Creek above the picnic tables 
upstream from the upper falls.  There are lots of blue-gray gnatcatchers in 
those trees whose activity makes it difficult to find the warblers. I was 
unable to identify the warbler.  Sorry but I donât attempt to photograph 
warblers with my little camera.  
The warbler had a bright yellow breast.  The belly was white.  I saw no 
streaking. The back and wings and tail were gray with two white wing bars.  I 
was not able to see if there were eye rings but I feel certain that there was 
not any line through the eye.  The cheek was pale â grayish to white.  There 
was not a visible necklace.  There was a sort of black malar stripe that curved 
around toward the ear.  
Could it be an immature parula?  I have searched my field guides and Google but 
donât find anything that matches.
