From Tom Stephenson:
I was able to get into the park a bit today, starting in the South end. I had 11 species of warblers and several sparrows including two Lincoln's and a White-crowned; probably over 100 Golden-crowned Kinglets....
Also, more ducks seem to be gathering....
Here's the list.
Best regards,
Tom
