Yellow Throated Warbler - Lacey SP, Van Buren Co.

[Ron Stakland]

Presently listening to a YT Warbler in the sycamore grove at Ely Ford. Still seeking a visual but so far it has eluded us, as well as Tom Johnson who just arrived and, being an optometrist, undoubtedly has perfectly corrected eagle eyesight!

I am not 100% convinced I made a correct ID on this bird. The song is close but not quite exactly what I hear when I listen to recordings. And for some reason none of our Merlin sound ID apps provided any opinion on the song we were hearing. I will update if and when I get a visual. In the meantime, best to assume we are still awaiting FOY for this warbler.
