| Occurrence Remarks |
The documentation form by Diane Porter is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: The bird really does not resemble other warblers. It looked more like a junco than any other species, but the bill size and shape, the bird's small size, the white wing patches, and the blue color all told against that. |

| Event Remarks |
Viewing Conditions: It was a bright but overcast day. I was indoors in my office. I saw the bird through a large, closed window. The bird was about 8 to 10 feet from me. I am estimating this distance. I viewed the bird with my naked eyes. I have excellent vision at a distance, though I am far sighted and need glasses to read. I doubt that my binoculars would have focussed [sic] so close, had I had them handy, which I did not. |
