Tennessee Warbler (Vermivora peregrina),  Tumacacori, Santa Cruz County

This Tennessee Warbler was discovered by Chris McCreedy and Michael Lester and photographed by Michael Lester on 04 December 2010 along the Santa Cruz River, about 250 yards north of the Santa Gertrudis Lane. 

After a couple of decades with few records, may be increasing in the last few years. 

Green back, short tail, and white undertail coverts distinguish Tennesse from Orange-crowned Warbler.
