- Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S146286123
- Comments: "Flags Rare, presumably for unseasonable/early. Not an easily confused bird, and seen well; I was initially mostly concerned with eliminating Swainson's Warbler, given the climate change assault of southern species in recent weeks. However the bird was from the first view too warm and ruddy/buffy for Swainson's, and quickly showed me a bold buff coronal stripe on dark-capped head. The bird was loosely associating with a yellow warbler about halfway up a large tree and bolted out before I could get decent photos. I therefore immediately made a voice note: "I just had a warbler interacting with a yellow warbler in a beech tree, I think it is, all warm buff color, paler to the undertail, above browner, darker, with a very prominent buff coronal stripe and two buff stripes over the eyes. Quite bright orange legs. Bird gave an alarm call as it flew out of the tree, a very thin high two note tseee, tseee rather unmusical.""
