Seen in Newport RI yesterday. This is a lifer for me. There's no doubt about this, correct?

Thanx!

Agree. It's also a good bird for RI. If you haven't already done so, you should report it. I know with the storm we had last week a whole bunch of these guys got blown well north, so this gal could be working her way south.

I was actually looking for a Wilson's Warbler here. This is better I suppose. :)

Thanks for the help everyone. I will try to report this if I can get some info on how to.
