Motacilla flava
27 June Barrow, Alaska - Heard a warbler - a rough but
singing call rather like a redpoll but higher pitched,
and looked up to see two birds about the size of
longspurs but thinner, bright yellow bellows with dark
olive backs and black tails, fly past over the Barrow
area with a strongly undulating flight. They certainly
have been this species, judging from what I know
about them and from what we saw.
29 June One heard (and a lot seen) flying N over
Miccosukee Marsh in the evening.
