After looking up photos, it was indeed a Lawrence’s Warbler! Thanks for
the help! Unfortunately, I was not able to get any photos of the bird, but
in case anyone wants to try to locate it tomorrow, here is a Google Maps
link showing approximately where I encountered it today (6/1):

And here is a linked to my EBird checklist, which I have just updated to
include the Lawrence’s Warbler:

In 12 years of birding, this is my first known observation of a hybrid!

Hello Jesse – what you most likely saw was a Lawrence’s Warbler. A Law A
Lawrence’s is a hybrid of a Blue-winged warbler and a Brewster‘s warbler,
which is a hybrid of a Blue-winged and a Golden-winged warbler.

Did you get any photos of the bird?

Just saw a very odd-looking blue-winged warbler at Gavel Family Farm
preserve in Roxbury. It sang the distinctive blue-winged warbler song,

and

it looked like a blue warbler, except that it had a black throat. Does
anyone know what I may have seen? Was this some type of hybrid?
