[EBB Sightings] Palm Warbler in Oakland

Hi E. B. Birders,

This morning, while scouting out my recently acquired
sub-area for the Oakland Christmas Bird Count, Pat
Bacchetti, Sue Cox, and I found a Palm Warbler.

This bird was seen on 5th street, off Embarcadero,
west of I-880 in Oakland.  The bird was in a leafless
tree at the entrance to the last driveway on the
right, just before the road dead-ended.  It then
hopped to the ground and nearby shrubs.  Morning light
made it very easy to see the bright yellow undertail
coverts as the bird bobbed its back end.  The crown
was faded chestnut and the overall plumage of the bird
was rather dull.

I will not be able to visit this area again before
count day, so if anyone relocates this bird during
count week, please post or  drop me a brief email
about its continued presence.

All the Best Birding,
Denise
