Re: Still there at 12:15PM - [SBB] Blackpoll Warbler at Sunnyvale WPCP, and at 2:20

[Phil Brown <[[email protected]]>]

Got nice looks in exactly the same place as described below by Vivek. I
noted grey shoulders (as per my Sibley), dark line through eye, dark green
back and head, clean white undertail coverts, wing bars, streaked back, and
faintly streaked breast. It's pose was distinctive with slightly drooped
wings.
Thanks very much, lifer for me,
Phil Brown
