This excellent Lanceolated Warbler was found at Fedje, the westernmost municipality in Norway, on 15 October 2003. It was the seventh Norwegian record, and the first in Hordaland county.

The first North American record of Lanceolated Warbler was on Attu Island, Alaska during the spring 1984 Attour trip.

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. More
