Nice to have a day of unexpected activity here, 9-12:30. The wooded area along the path/creek just before opening into the kiln area was very active (mid-nmorning) with 30+ birds, split mainly btw red-eyed vireo, warbling vireo, and chestnut-sided warbler. Among this big group: a YELLOW-BILLED CUCKOO, PHILADELPHIA VIREO, and a Black-and-White warbler. The other side of the bridge was active (late morning) to about halfway (to bird house #10) and included several warbler species (8 total for the day), including a somewhat early PALM WARBLER. Very large numbers of warbling and red-eyed seemingly everywhere--and large numbers of pewee and downy. I pretty much quit counting some of these.
Moreover, I missed a lot.
