Detalhes da observação
***Bird that got away of the morning. Chilling at the tip early morning when heard bird flying in off the ocean calling. Immediately got in it in my binoculars and watched well for a couple seconds before going to for camera and grabbing first in focus pics. I then changed settings and failed to focus on bird as it headed away to the W of me along the neck. When I initially raised my binoculars my eyes were immediately drawn to a medium sized warbler with long black tail and bright clean yellow stomach with darker green above. The tail stuck out very much so as being long and black right to tip compared to rest of bird. Did not see head very well or any sign of being well marked. Flight pattern was not untypical of any warbler although slightly more hoppy and less direct. The thing that I was first alerted to this birds presence was it's sharp chip given in flight. A sharp "chik" call repeated over and over in flight which I failed to record. At this point I was confident it wasn't a Yellow-rumped since the call was sharper and more compact and somewhat almost of metallic tone. My initial thought right after was maybe MGWA due to long black tail and yellow stomach. I immediately pulled out my phone and played their call which was a perfect match for the bird I heard. Everything seemed to match for MGWA but due to horrible documentation and no recording I'm not calling this. Eliminating PAWA which would be the only option I can think of due to the long completely black tail on the bird with no white outer tail feathers(HOWA and call did not match at all) call was also all wrong for PAWA. This leaves me with MGWA. A very careful check of neck immediately afterwards revealed no sign of the bird which likely continued N down the neck. Very frustrating but completely my fault for not recording.
