Hi Melanie, I share your challenge, and often bird in the early evening. My typos and word jumble mistakes posted on this list I attribute to a year of sleep deprivation. You might really enjoy the path along the inlet in Renwick Woods (closer to the "stone" arch entrance near the RR tracks). There I hear reliable Wood Thrush, Oven Bird, Yellow Warbler, and many other incredible sounds in the last 2-3 hours of the day!!! Mosquitoes were merciless, be prepared!
I was there yesterday around 6pm, all of these birds were there, and I am 99% sure I had a Wilson's Warbler! It was backlit and high up in the tree tops, so I could not be sure. I saw the underside of the tail which was white/light gray with darker gray tips. Its call matched the recording and responded to it; and I heard the same song at Fuertes Bird Sanctuary the week before. Happy bird listening!
