Observation details
Originally we thought this was a Western Tanager but after long discussion with a few people, decided based on bill shape and undertail coverts that it was just an anomalous Pine Warbler. Short-tailed yellow / gray bird, seemingly larger than any vireo but smaller than a typical thrush. Faded coral-tinted medium-length bill. Yellow throat and breast, white belly and vent, prominent wing bars, grayish back, dull yellow head and crown with mottled gray face. Dark eye. Too small for an oriole; shape too chunky and tail gray, not yellow. Feeding on cedar berries behind rest rooms, then flew off to south. Abysmal photos.
