I managed to encounter 21 warbler species, mainly heard-only due to the thickness of vegetation. Most were residents but the migrants included a fair number of Black-throated Greens and Blues, and individuals of Canada, Blackpoll, Chestnut-sided, and Tennessee, and a very vocal and visible N Waterthrush at the Liberty Dam Trail. I also had about 5 Swainson's Thrushes, finally, including one singing its pleasant song. Once again no Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, sadly.
