Observation details

34.434607,-119.812551 large "female" warbler that resembles a McGillivray's Warbler, but with yellow from the breast penetrating up into the throat. Otherwise, most of the head looks gray. This bird moves around a lot and is very skulky, and I would not have seen it had it not been for the presence of many other local birders who helped me see it. It moves stealthily inside and along the entire length of hedgrows, occasionally popping up into the Tipu trees in the parking lot. Photographed by the gentleman in gray shorts and a green t-shirt while I was standing next to him. Eventually the bird reappeared at 34.434795,-119.811363 which I am told is its main spot that it faithfully returns to. When it returned to this area it always stayed inches above the ground while flying.
