After further research and more discussion with my wife, I am not confident
in my warbler ID from yesterday. Perhaps we will get another visit today
to confirm the ID.

In light of the coronavirus pandemic, we will be doing this presentation
over the internet. I am setting up a remote presentation option, where I
can give you the same talk, but over the computer so no one has to come
into contact with any germs! See below for connection details.
