Cape May Warbler (Setophaga tigrina) (1)
- Reported Apr 10, 2025 16:22 by Alexander Yan
- Poly Canyon, San Luis Obispo, California
- Map: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&<q...>,-120.6548595&<ll...>,-120.6548595 - Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S224450572 - Comments: "Candidate, very unexpected bird encountered on evening stroll. Last seen in the trees with tons of yellow rumps around 35.31470° N, 120.65268° W. Seen in deep shade so the bird appeared somewhat greenish. Seemed slightly smaller than the yellow rumps, extensive yellow on the face, stripy dotty breast, dark cap and more darkish tones near the eye and cheek, yellow throat, greenish wings with some wing bar spot. The yellow eye line was strong and distinctive. Darker wings than palm and with a more messy pattern on the body. Responded to call playback once then disappeared, chased by aggressive yellow rumps and tons of dogs appeared on the trail. Hope someone can refind it."
