The first North American record of Lanceolated Warbler was on Attu Island, Alaska during the spring 1984 Attour trip. The bird was accidentally discovered by me while I was photographing a group of Bar-tailed Godwits from a grassy overlook along Navy Cove. While I didn't know exactly what it was at the time, it was obviously different than any other bird seen on Attu in the previous three weeks. Thede Tobish, one of Attour's leaders, identified the bird after it was reported to him. Noble Proctor, another Attour leader, is holding the bird in his hands in this photograph after it was netted for documentation purposes. Photographed on Attu Island, Alaska, USA. Photo taken with a Nikkor 28mm ED f3.5 lens on Ektachrome 400 film pushed to 800. This photo is on file with the Academy of Natural Sciences' Visual Resources for Ornithology (VIREO B22/1/011). (Date: May 1984)
