Summary: Because this sighting was much earlier than other sightings of this species in Utah, the record was sent to a second round to make sure the record eliminated other possible warblers, especially the Orange-crowned Warbler. After research of other sightings of Black-throated Blue Warblers in this area of the country the date thought to be possible, though remarkable and the description adequately eliminated other species.
