- Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S94425282
- Comments: "Reported by doug earlier, but bird refused to give satisfying views . i observed a slightly streaked yellow bird with dark cheeks - at first i thought weird cape may, but the streaking was less crisp and limited to the flanks. additionally, the chip note was lower in pitch than a cape may's, though still a few pitches higher than a BTNW. - eleanor should have a photo, tripper should have recordings."
