Hello Birders, Many thanks to all who added their opinions and my apologies for not returning to this sooner. I have a 2 year old boy who fancies himself an owl, identifying distant warblers in photos is often easier than putting him to bed. I will be continuing this discussion in the OOS forum with my thoughts on the bird and more on my field observations. My apologies if I ruffled any feathers in making the original post - my reason for doing so was that if indeed the bird was an Oporornis warbler then posting it was a valid use of the listserv. See you at the forum....
