Hi,

I came back to the same location this morning and found what I'm 99% sure is
the same bird.  I brought my good binoculars today and the bird was a more
cooperative.  I saw the wings much better, and it clearly had somewhat
narrow, yellowish wingbars.  The Cornell BNA website says the following
about Tennessee Warbler: "underparts of immatures are more strongly washed
yellow than are those of adults. Narrow, pale tips on greater-coverts in all
age and sex classes may give appearance of a wing-bar, more prominent in
freshly molted plumages."  I'm now almost certain that it's an immature
Tennessee Warbler.  Sorry about the confusion.

-Nate Nye
