From Matthew :
Crack of dawn patrol revealed only two species warblers this morning; lots of Palm on Peninsula. White-throated sparrows everywhere. Two birders sent me to a Savannah Sparrow, turned out to be two of them, one very yellow. FOS Catbird. A trio of Towees. Male of pair of Tufted Titmouse on berm near GAP feeding female, probable nesters?
Although bone dry, area of erstwhile mud puddle on bridle path between Rick's Place and Boulder Bridge very productive last two days with elm seeds good pickings.
