is NOT worth two in the bush, as it turns out.
Today I found a small warbler that had run into a store window and
broken its neck. So I picked it up and took it home to see if I could
figure out what it was. A half an hour and two bird guides later, I
still didn't know. So much for the bird in a hand...
It was 4 1/2 inches long, ,light/pinkish legs, definite olive back and
tail, brownish head and wings with grayish underfeathers, medium bright
yellow throat, pale yellow undertail coverts and pale yellow/white
belly somewhat darker on the sides.
No wing bars, no streaking, no eye line, no supercilium and no eye ring
(eyes were closed -- would that make a difference?
