- Comments: "Heard interesting chip seemingly between an Orange-crowned and a Townsend’s, a little more smacky than other Leiothlypis. Pished and it immediately crossed the street into the tipu where I got good looks and photos. Small yellow warbler with clean white UTCs, some white on lower belly, short tail, sharp triangular bill, and distinct straight supercilium. Seems to really like the white-flowering tree here (34.4118474, -119.8677214), but also went in tipu across the street in response to pishing. Hella vocal"
