The documentation form by Robert I. Cecil is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. | Elimination of similar species: I feel that combination of posture, incl. cock of tail, clear yellow throat and yellowish undersides, and most importantly, trace of emerging mask ruled out all other Warblers. Mask, although faint, was clearly noticable. [sic] Was not Kentucky warbler--saw several this summer and early fall. | The original documentation form event lasted from 09:00:00/09:00:10.
