- Comments: "Flagged for date: Found by Pedro in the phrags along the W side of the lake Judy N of West Island. Was mostly skulking in there, esp after a raptor came through and scared everything, but a warbler that was mostly a cold greenish yellow, with no wing bars, yellow under the tail, a gray head, and an eyeline (not an eyering). Terrible photo available."
