Thanks to everyone for showing interest in this bird. Alexis found a photo on the Cornell site of an adult Hermit Warbler with a black bib *and* auricular patch; it looks similar to the bird we saw:

Also, FYI (and to complicate things further), the song we heard sounded like the zee-zee-zee-zoo-zee of the Black-throated Green. Anthony's blog post about this bird can be found here: http://welshbirder.blogspot.com/ Please continue to weigh in with your thoughts. All concerns respectfully voiced are welcome. Variety is the spice of life :-) Karen -- NYSbirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/NYSbirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/NYSBirds-L 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/NYSB.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
