This morning's SSW walk saw a yellow palm warbler on the island from the pergola (along with two yellow-rumpeds). Later, in the woods, was a large flock of rusty blackbirds, conservatively 50, possibly 100+, subflocks continuously emerging previously unseen from depressions in the woods.
Ruby-crowned kinglets and white-throated sparrows were everywhere, close, cooperative, and singing. Two Canada geese on nests, one right outside the VC entrance; two active robin nests, one under construction; a possible tree swallow nest cavity in a tree rather than nestbox, and for a moment a tree swallow pair checking out the nestbox/nestpost pair next to the Owens platform. Final highlight was a singing brown creeper which with some patience a few managed to see.
