My mistake... it was not a 'western' (palmarum), but the more common 'yellow' (hyprochrysea). I read Petseron Field Guides to Warblers by: Dunn and Garret a little too quick. A recent post asked of a good refence as to where and when to expect migratn warblers in North America. I have yet to find a better one. It goes as far as giving normal arrivals and departures (including habitats, sbss, back-crosses, behavoirs, etc...). And, like all well-done Peterson guides, the illustrated plates are very helpful. I expect the next ones to show are more Palms, then B&W.
