I thought I'd found an Orange-crowned Warbler and was describing it to Gordon when he noted the constant tail bobbing. It looked gray/green on top, had a pale yellow wash on the breast and belly with faint gray streaking and a bright yellow rump. The white supercillium had me stumped, and I knew we had something I'd never seen before. I actually "googled" the bird when I got home and came up with Palm Warbler, which fit the description. I left a message with Ann Verdi and she was there when I return this evening. We failed to find it tonight. Look in the Monterey Pines along the trail, where it was seen at mid level. It should be easy to distinguish from the many Yellow-Rumped Warblers by the tail pumping. The trail is directly across from Lake Almaden between Winfield and Almaden Ex. Turn into the VTA lot at the white apartment buildings entrance, drive back and turn left. The trail is marked, just walk north a few yards to the pine trees. Many Yellow Warblers are feeding here and Ann saw a her Nashville Warbler here last week. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
