I had multiple Lincoln's and Winter Wrens. There were a ton of purple finches by the feeder by the hawk watch, like 7 females/immatures and one really nice adult male. Saw all the warblers mentioned except tennessee, which I miss every. time. Chestnut-sided with a nice chestnut side. Palm Warbler. Saw more towhees at once than I've ever seen before in my life. More Ruby-crowned Kinglets than you could ever want. Yellow-billed Cuckoo. Would've been more stuff if the lighting had been better.
