Lucy's Warbler after bathingshowing plain face, pale lores, pale around eye, and thin pointed bill
Observation details
I first spotted this bird when it dropped down to the water feature to bathe. I quickly noted the gray upperparts, cream colored underparts, plain face with a pale diffuse ring around the eye, and the thin pointed warbler type bill. It was similar in size to a Ruby-crowned Kinglet present at the same time. As it bathed, it showed rusty streaks on the otherwise gray crown and rusty upper tail coverts. Unfortunately my camera was in the car and after retrieving it the bird was doing its after bath preening in the middle of a wax myrtle. I managed to get a few photos to document the bird.
