Habitat:	Live oaks with other trees mixed.  Few leaves on anything but Oaks.

Description:	First noticed a Yellow-rumped Warbler. Yellow throat stood out.  It seemed to be a bright cream yellow.  The whole throat was yellow down to the breast where it vanished into the small breast streaks.  I looked for the face pattern (I remembered to look for this) and what I saw on two or three times was a very plane side of head, uniformally brown wint a white broken eye ring (broken front and back). The rest of the bird had nothing noteworthy.  I did look at the wingbars but they were typical Yellow-rumped. The rump and the white in the tail also seemed normal.
Voice:	If bird called, I didn't distinguish this call.
Similar species:	Yellow-rumped "Myrtle" Warblers are the only thing real similar.  There were numerous Myrtles in the same area for comparison.  Their white throats showed up easily in contrast to the yellow of the Audubon's.
Photographs or tape recordings obtained?	None
Previous experience with this species:	This is the first female type I observed in Louisiana.  I privioully had seen two males with strong markings.  I have observed this species in Arizona and Colorado on several occasions.
Identification aids:	Checked the National Geographic guide upon getting back to the car.  I didn't see anything I missed in the identification.
