I am leaning toward Orange-Crowned Warbler at this point. I actually
did my homework and checked the MOU occurrence maps and records of
arrival and it helped eliminate by a long shot the Canadian Warbler
(who I was leaning toward the most) and the Nashville due to other
characteristics. The Yellow-rumped variant was too far off by looks
and behavior. Since an Orange-Crowned Warbler would be a lifer for
me, I would be guessing any way around it - so I will leave it as the
best guess given my shared description and the dozen or more email
responses. The Orange-Crowned Warbler makes the most sense but won't
make my list until I can see and confirm myself. This gives me a lot
to look for in an orange-crowned - so thank you everyone. I love this
network!
