This one in Taylor's Refuge in Cinnaminson, New Jersey.  Keep your
eyes on your local JUNIPER patch.

In other news, I've decided to err on the side of caution with my
eBird list from yesterday.  I got about 90 % of the prob.
Orange-crowned Warbler, but I'm bothered by one thing... the bird's
head.  It was raining, so the light streaking I observed on the side
of this bird could be wet feathers.  I noted a yellow under-tail and
dull grey back, but that doesn't rule out a drab first year Nashville.
 IF I had enough time with the bird to either note a white eye-ring,
or the pattern of dark on an OCWA, I'd feel more certain. But mostly,
I am far too error prone in my ID's to call a county bird like this
without photo documentation.

My quest for this bird (and many, many other species) in Anne Arundel
County shall continue.

Good Birding,
