Along the stretch of trail between markers 15 and 13, in listening (unsuccessfully) for the Summer Tanager, I heard what seemed to be the call of a Golden-winged Warbler---a clear "bee-buzz-buzz". As I got closer to the source, it became apparent that while the song itself was a match, the voice was not; it was slightly lower in pitch, and more robust. When I was able to see the bird, it proved to have the overall appearance of a Blue-winged Warbler, much yellow, with some darker plumage not typical of the species. It was definitely singing the Golden's song, however---I watched as it sang---so it would seem to be a Lawrence's hybrid. Linda Whyte
