Message: On Saturday, October 13, 2007, I observed a palm warbler in Robbers' Roost  Canyon, Wayne County, Utah.  The location was about two miles upstream from the confluence with the Dirty Devil River.  I am quite familiar with the species from experience in the Eastern US.  Field marks included a flash of white in the tips of the outer tail feathers, a distinct supercilium, a dull brown front and back (suggesting a Western bird), and yellow undertail coverts.  The bird flushed from the ground and perched in a low tree, pumping its tail nonstop in classic palm-warbler fashion.  I had good views from about 30'. Its call was a "plick", softer than the yellow-rumped warblers with which it was associating.  I realize that this one will be difficult to corroborate, give the remoteness and vastness of the area.
