I didn't see any other birders at the Maintenance Yard this 
morning.  Very slow, but I got good looks at SWAINSON'S 
THRUSH, HERMIT THRUSH, GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLET, and LINCOLN'S 
SPARROW.  Besides the numerous YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS, the 
only other warbler I found was a first-winter COMMON 
YELLOWTHROAT.  Full list below:

Checklist diary notes:
Very quiet at the park (Maintenance Yard) today, my first 
visit since returning from the west coast. Overcast with 
light drizzle, calm winds. Highlights were the catharus 
thrushes, the Golden-crowned Kinglets (my first good look at 
any this season), and the Lincoln's Sparrow. There may have 
been a second yellowthroat.
