A mis-reading of the Yellow Book, combined with wishful thinking, led me to
erroneously claim a Wilson's Warbler at Harney Pond East, FredCo.  Calmer
parties than myself discerned pale edging in the tertials in one of my
blurry   digiscopes, making it consistent with Yellow Warbler, likely a
juvenile.  In any case, it has been pointed out to me that there are no
records for Wilson's in July.  Hopefully I've learned something here about
confusing fall warblers, and it's not even close to autumn yet!
