The back pattern (wavy white lines rather than fuzzy white lines with dark bars) and paleness of the auricular patch indicate a juvenile. | The original documentation form event lasted from 07:45:00/09:00:00.

The documentation form by Mark Proescholdt is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: [...] The most identifying mark was its face pattern around its eye. It had a 'blank look' around its eye. [...] This is definitely different from a Phil. Vireo with dark line through its eye and the Philadelphia's 'dark loral spot'. I've seen many Warbling Vireos (and have heard more) and I'm sure that it was a Warbling Vireo that I saw. | The original documentation form event lasted for 15 to 30 seconds.
