I was at Wildwood Park on the eastside of Cleveland today from around 5:30 to 7:30pm.  I did not see as hardly any warblers this evening.  I only found a few.  I found what I thought was a Blue-winged Warbler high up in a tree on the Euclid Beach property seen form Wildwood near the fence.  It was yellow, black eye line, looked like white-wing bars.  When I refound it closer to the woods at Wildwood nearby I was trying to get pictures.  The pictures don't look totally like a Blue-winged.  There is more white on the underside of the belly. The books says the Blue-winged Warbler has a very yellow belly. I wonder if it was a different bird as I was too busy getting pictures to properly analyze the bird as it was in a very leafy tree.  If anybody could look at the four pictures I have posted to let me know if it could have some hybrid in it or just a pale belly Blue-wing.  I did not notice yellow wing bars the first time I saw it. I had heard a buzzy sound
 earlier when I was up there but left as I was talking on the phone. I came back latter around 7pm and found the bird.  Thank you.
