My husband Townsend and I spent from 1:15pm-4:10pm observing & photographing
the Hermit Warbler. We have clear photos of the bird eating several types bugs,
worms including catapillars.
Another gorgous Warbler to see and add to my life list! Thank you Vinny P for
such a stunning find!

For what it's worth: that looks like a Collembola, which are common winter
Hexapods.

I, my wife and a few other birders saw the Varied Thrush today between
2:30-2:45pm in the usual spots. It perched in a tree behind the restrooms
for a bit after making a loop around the maintenance field.

Went to look at the Hermit Warbler (probable first fall female) at Sunken
Meadow
SP this am at 9:20. It gave great close views for the ten minutes I was there
and was still there when I left. Pretty nice. It's amazing that this bird

I was at Sunken Meadow SP this morning and observed the Hermit Thrush for
about an hour and captured some photos as well, though the sun only came out
to shine when I left. It should be easy to find... just look for the big
