	64:15	1991-10-20		Minneapolis	Hennepin	(vote 3-4). The observers, who are well experienced with this and other warblers, were probably correct in their identification; however, the majority felt the description was too sketchy to be accepted. The only plumage features mentioned were: "bright yellow breast... blue-gray wings with two whitish wing bars and the green back ... black eye stripe". It was felt that such a description could also match Pine Warbler, among other species, and it was curious that only the breast, and not the entire underparts, was said to be yellow.	Not Accepted
