Observation details
THREE! Which is especially crazy for the relatively late date. A female and a singing male by the golf course wedge: 35.1445828, -89.9890227. Another female in a large warbler flock by the "magic hickory": 35.144667, -89.988861. Photos of at least two of these birds. The male repeatedly gave a very peculiar song (below), which, once learned, often aided in its detection. This doesn't sound at all like a classic Golden-winged Warbler song: a variable flat or arched fine, sliding buzz, at times with some lower, accented notes at the end. My suspicion is that, even this looks just like a Golden-winged Warbler, that perhaps it has some Blue-winged genes it in, given a song that is more reminiscent of the back half of a Blue-winged Warbler song. I was able to visibly confirm this bird singing during the recording I made. Merlin didn't have any suggestions for this song ... and I don't blame it!
