The highlights were great close-up looks at a singing Worm-eating Warbler (about 100 yards up the trail) and one or two Yellow-throated Warblers (along the entry road as usual). Black-and-white Warblers and Parula Warblers were pretty thick. A few good heard-only birds were Scarlet Tanager, Yellow-throated Vireo, Baltimore Oriole, and Cerulean Warbler. 7 warbler species overall. After the trip I went briefly to Soldiers Delight where Myrtle Warblers were quite numerous (unlike at Liberty Dam), and there were at least several Prairie Warblers. Also there were a few Cliff Swallows flying over as I crossed Liberty Reservoir on Liberty Rd.
