| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation by Peter Ernzen is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: [...] I initially thought that the bird was a Mourning Warbler - common at Moorehead Park at this time of the year in this type of habitat. [...] I observed a broken eye ring on both sides of the head of this bird. The broken eye ring could best be described as " two bold white crescents" - above and below the eye. The other feature which stuck in my mind was the relatively long looking - "longer looking than Mourning" - tail on this particular bird. At first I tried to dismiss this bird as a nontypical Mourning Warbler. I have seen on several occasions Mourning warblers with slight eye rings - making identification of fall Connecticut and irregular Mourning warblers somewhat difficult. For the next week I returned to the spot hoping for a glimpse of the bird. This proved useless. I had hoped to see this bird as my notes were rather sketchy and incomplete. Consisting primarily of "bird with 2 bold white crescents" around the eyes, and "appeared longer tailed than Mourning". Otherwise the bird looked very similar to a fall male mourning warlber [sic]. | The original documentation form event occurred in the afternoon and lasted around 10 seconds. |

| Event Remarks |
Viewing Conditions: [...] when I noticed a warbler in the brush approximately 15 feet from me. The bird flew up to a downed tree and proceeded to scold me (I would estimate a viewing time of 10 seconds). [...] I was somewhat perplexed as I focused my 10 x 50 binoculars on the bird. |
