So, imagine you are wandering around looking in the trees for a Tropical Parula and after sifting through ten billion Yellow-rumped Warblers, one million Orange-crowned Warblers, two hundred Ruby-crowned Kinglets, five hundred and forty-two shaking leaves, a single Golden-crowned Kinglet and then BAM look at that yellow chest, AHHH, oh, and a yellow face, what? and it's not blue at all, damn, what the heck?

The locals were far more interested in me finding this bird than me not finding a parula. Whatever. It's kind of like finding a Dicksissel in California (my Dad is laughing to himself right now) I guess.

All numbers are estimates only, and not statistically useful...
