Details
Many thanks to Mason, RJ and Ben for finding and reporting this bird.
We found it foraging in elderberry and other bushes at these coordinates (47.031824, -117.293967), about 50 yards NE of where it was discovered 4 hours earlier. Brian pointed out the bird to Darchelle, who then viewed it for 5-10 seconds at a distance of about 30 feet through binoculars as it moved about the interior of the elderberry mostly in shadow and backlit by bright vegetation behind it. Field marks are described below as Darchelle noted them and we discussed them at the time, prior to viewing photos. We chose not to post the sighting until we could confirm from Mason's photos that it was the same bird Mason saw. Compared to Mason's photos, this bird seemed more richly colored but otherwise similar.
Active warbler with yellow face and underparts, prominent white undertail coverts and gray back and wings with 2 bold white wingbars. White under tail extended up towards legs with an impression of some gray between the white and the yellow, particularly on its sides. Yellow on face and underparts was not bright yellow as in a Wilson's warbler but was nonetheless unmistakable. Face showed dark area around eye or perhaps a dark line through the eye, but no obvious pattern. Did not notice legs or feet. -
