Here is what Merlin picked up in my backyard this AM from 7-8 PM.

I am having difficulty with the sonograph as Merlin is reporting it is "Unavailable." That is not rare with longer recordings. If I can get access, I'll post it on eBird.
I am just south of Martin Burns Wildlife Area, a well-known blue-winged warbler nesting site, so my initial suspicion is that the golden-winged warbler is likely a blue-winged warbler. However, I am going to spend the rest of today trying to pin it down. We did have a Brewster's warbler in the yard several years ago, so I like to think anything is possible.
