Bob,

Yikes!  You caught me shooting from the hip on a warbler id.  The birds that
I had
were working some shrubs next to a  ball field on Tylerton. One of the birds
was pumping his tail and from where I was standing , seemed to show
yellowish undertail coverts.  However, my bins were back in my room and
perhaps  more grave an error- my copy of the "yellow" book remained on my
shelf at home. If that had been in my pack, I'd have made a more careful
study of those birds.

I amend my report to read unid. warbler species!

p.s. for the butterfly watchers out there, I had an American Snout in my
yard yesterday in Croom.
