Observation details

*Rare but regular in fall. Fairly large warbler, largeish bicolored bill, white eye arcs, dark eyeline. Yellowish/olive head and chest, more olive back with black streaking. Grayish nape. White stomach, white UTCs, very short, nondescript colored tail. 2 very bold white wingbars, additional white bars on wing coverts (?). Orangeish yellow feet and lower legs. Spotted by Braxton high in eucs at HCP west, south side of Huntington lake at the base of the “T” peninsula. (33.6974730, -118.0107355). Stayed high in the canopy and always obstructed, very tough to track. This was towards the end of our outing, Cadeo had already started walking back to his car when we spotted this. We called him and he came back but unfortunately wasn’t able to get on the bird. It was refound by others later in the afternoon though. While a Blackpoll was reported earlier this morning at the island area on the east side of the park, I firmly believe this is likely a separate individual due to a couple of reasons, although I guess there’s a very slim chance it could be the same bird.
