[EBB Sightings] Five Warbler morning at Lake Temescal

Hi all;

I birded Lake  Temescal this morning from 8:30-11.  Though the skies were primarily overcast for most of that time, bird activity was high.  From the Broadway Terrace parking area, I only had to pass the first bridge for alders and oak that were loaded with birds.   Best vantage point was the lawn around the picnic tables under the redwoods, where the alders on the lawn side and the oaks on the hill side are clearly visible.

Highlights were:

Black-throated Gray Warbler-male
Townsend's Warblers-2 males
Yellow Warblers-at least 2 and probably more
Orange-crowned Warbler-1
Wilson's Warblers-many

Warbling Vireo-2, feeding with the warbler flock

Ruby-crowned Kinglet: First-of-season, with the warblers

Bullock's Oriole: 2

Good birding,

Pat Bacchetti
