I took this picture on 19 July, 2007 while canoeing on the Colville River north of the Brooks Range in Alaska. (aproximately Lat. N69 53). I tenatively identified it as an Orange-crowned Warbler using Sibley Field Guide to Birds but am having difficulty matching this picture to the description provided in the book.

Thank you Graham. It does fit the description much better. I don't know how I missed that one.
