Hi All,

A "Western Palm Warbler " was in a West Yakima yard at a sprinkler bathing
last week in the early evening , 3 May. Joyce Lucas noted "the top of it's
head was rufous and it had an eye bar or stripe. It's chest and under the
tail were bright yellow. It's chest was striped. Being wet, the stripes
seemed quite dark, almost black.It appeared to be in full breeding colors as
they were very bright and vivid." Joyce saw the bird for only a few minutes
before it flew off. She searched for it the following morning but had no
luck.
