All:

Some viewers might enjoy savouring photos of a YELLOW-GREEN VIREO,  
captured for banding on Plum I., Mass., two days ago.

            http://www.larsonweb.org/jfbbs/ygvi2011.html

This is apparently the first in eastern USA north of Florida. Would  
you pass it off as a large-billed, rather yellowish Red-eyed if it  
turned up in your backyard? Note that, a field guide distinction is  
said to be the presence of a blackish line along the margin of the  
crown above the white supercilium; but this is known to be variable,  
and this individual does have some blackness there.

Cheers, Ian

Ian McLaren
