------=_Part_77616_10735348.1228077575981 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline Hi, I have posted a representative selection of the 61 pictures I took of the bird in Point Pleasant Park this morning. (Most of the others were out of focus, fuzzy, or identical to these). Web site is http://www.pbase.com/rb_stern/hermit__warbler. Note the dark head, the pattern of darker marks on the face, almost forming a cheek crescent, the minimal dark bib, and the pattern of streaking on the flanks. To me (after poring over several field and non-field guides to warblers), this bird looks like it has plenty of Townsend's genes, ans is either a hybrid Hermit X Townsend's or a back-cross of this with a Hermit. Perhaps after other pictures have appeared, Ian (or I) might like to see if anyone on ID Frontiers etc. has any thoughts. Incidentally, we also saw the Devil's Island Snowy Owl and the Eastern Passage Redhead today. Thanks to the many other birders who pointed all this good stuff out to us! -- ################# Richard Stern, 317 Middle Dyke Rd.
