This Tennessee Warbler was photographed by Tommy DeBardeleben on 11 October 2020.

Tennessee Warbler was reported frequently in the state during the 1970's and 1980's but there was a significant decline in reports during the 1990's and early 2000's. However, it has become increasingly regular again during the last few years with multiple reports each year.

Small warbler, short-tailed & long winged compared to Orange-crowned Warbler. Shows a blackish eye-line, yellowish supercilium (most prominent forward of eye), gray-olive crown, olive back & wing coverts, yellowish throat & breast with white undertail coverts.
