Hi Gary, I don't know if you are trying for a big day type of thing but I think hitting the trees around the picnic shelter at the smoky hill area would be worth it for Townsend's Warbler and maybe other warblers (Orange-crowned, possibly eastern ones). I don't know if the picnic area at 12 mile parking lot is near your planned route but it may be worth a shot for migrants, as well as rails in the cattails nearby. Keep an out for Cassin's Vireo - very nice bird that will be coming through by then. As for where to start, the only owls I've had around this time of year there are Great Horned, which could be seen at any part of the park. I think starting at the east side may be better because migrating warblers seem to be more sensitive to time of day than waterbirds (which marina is good for). Anyway, good luck!
