Light was pretty low so the aren't incredible, but I think they get the impression across. A distant one of the Olive-sided is also in that album. http://picasaweb.google.com/jmcgowan57/Summer2010#5512008940157249058 http://picasaweb.google.com/jmcgowan57/Summer2010#5512008950651162178 http://picasaweb.google.com/jmcgowan57/Summer2010#5512008952009585458 http://picasaweb.google.com/jmcgowan57/Summer2010#5512008957520002434 The warbler was still in the area when I left an hour later. It even flew across the path unprompted as I was heading back to the car, giving call notes and flight notes, and then giving a quiet song (sounded like a Blue-winged/Golden-winged "alternate" song, a series of stuttering notes with a buzz at the end).

It is at the Durland Preserve off Ellis Hollow Creek Road in the first hedgerow on the right after you take the first right at the big field after the entrance path. Brilliant yellow head and body, blue wings with white wingbars, and jet black mask and throat. I will post pictures some time soon. >Jay McGowan >Dryden, NY -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/cayugabirds-l@cornell.edu/maillist.html 2) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html 3) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
