I have photos of a pale yellow bird seen at the tree line before Cape Spear. At first, I thought it was a Philadelphia Vireo. Input from another has floated the idea of a Tennessee Warbler. Whatever it is, it is atypical. The stout bill prompted the thought of a vireo, yet the whitish color under the tail does not fit a Philadelphia. Likelihood: Tennessee. I will continue to study it.
Also seen this morning: 1 Wilson's 7 Yellow-rumped Warblers and 2 Red-eyed Vireos. The vireos were at the bus shelter pit.

The legs are a pale flesh color.

The photos now appear on Lisa's blog at the link below. The bird is indeed a Tennessee Warbler - lovely!

Tennessee indeed!
Notice the legs aren't blue. MOst vireo's have bluish. Also the bill is not a vireo's.
Cheers
Dave

Thanks to all who helped with this bird.
