I was hoping some others would post their warbler sightings but here is one of my favorites - the 'Yellow-breasted Chat'.
The "Chat" has long been considered the largest of the wood warblers. However, genetic data recently confirmed that it really doesn't belong in the warbler family. But its placement has not been resolved so for now it is still a warbler. It winters in Central America.

Although I have difficulty with many warbler voices, I can never mistake this one because of its uniqueness. I've actually seen more (and heard) this year than last year. That's always a good sign.
