Rare bird documentation form for Pine Warbler at Hawkeye Wildlife Management Area, 1994	Field notes	Birds--Identification Ornithology Rare birds	1994-04-24	N/A	Rare birds documentation form	Rare bird documentation form for a Pine Warbler at Hawkeye Wildlife Management Area in Johnson County, IA on April 24, 1994.	Pinkston, Randall, 1956-	Pine Warbler	Hawkeye Wildlife Management Area	DuPont bridge road, Johnson County, Iowa		The documentation form by Randall Pinkston is the only one submitted and forms the basis of this record. \| Elimination of similar species: Observed with Yellow-rumped and Palm Warblers. Really there was nothing else it could be. I considered an immature Palm Warbler but by late April the diagnostic marks should be apparent. The lack of a superciliary line and brownish cap, coupled with feeding behavior higher in the canopy and lack of tail-wagging, rule out Palm Warbler. Extensive white in the outer rectrix supports Pine Warbler.	Iowa Ornithologists' Union \| MS 166	35	29
