I'm certain they were not yellow-rumped warblers, but I am not familiar with
the other warblers listed above. In any case, the most distinctive features
were the two wing bars and the yellowish underparts. I saw about 5 birds in
the group. They were not next to eachother. Instead, each bird was maybe 15-50
feet apart in different trees. After about 5 minutes, they had moved out of
range.
