I got there late to the sight of the Townsend's Warbler and did not fing it.  However, at the spot of the white marker near the turf farm, I was surprised to watch a Gray Catbird come in and go drink water from the canal.  Shortly after, a very freshly plumaged Hermit Thrush did the same in the same area.

Like everyone else, I was mesmorized by the Amer. Woodcock display...best I'd ever seen (and in the best of weather conditions).  I had 5 separate birds in the air, performing their courtship display, with at least 3 others being heard nearby.

With the Great Horned Owl calling from the setting sun, the Bobwhite hollering from the trees at the edge of the field, Tundras from the south....beautiful!

Good birding,
