This one was easy to accept, given the excellent and thorough documentation. Here's another species that was destined to be discovered in Idaho some day, given that there are records from all of the states surrounding Idaho, except perhaps Washington. Since this species is usually secretive (like all Oporornis warblers) in dense cover and is superficially similar to MacGillivray's Warbler, it's easy to imagine them being overlooked in the past.

Photograph and written report support the species. It is nice to review such a well-documented bird.
