[EBB Sightings] Palm Warbler continues at Meeker Slough

At least, so said the other birder I ran into.  Yesterday at 145PM, I walked in from 51st street as per previous instructions, and crossed the bridge and hit the Bay Trail.  After not discovering it over a brief period, another gentleman did--probably about 50-100 yards north of same bridge, and called me over (gave a perfect description).  Another half hour of searching or so failed to relocate the bird, unfortunately.  I decided to post this because nobody has updated recently.

Despite my personal palm warbler failures, and the lack of Clapper Rails during a nice high tide, it was very birdy, especially during the brief window when the sun was out, with 4 sparrows and active and visible Marsh wrens.  Off the top of my head:

GB Heron
Snowy Egrets (millions)
Mallard
Scaup spp.
American Widgeon
Gadwall
N. Shoveller
Ring Billed Gull
Avocets
Dowitcher spp.
Willets
Least Sandpipers
Killdeer
Anna's Hummingbird
Black Phoebe
Marsh Wrens (great views)
Western Meadowlark (more than I can ever recall seeing in that area)
YR Warbler
Common Yellowthroat
GC Sparrow
WC sparrow
Song Sparrow
Lincoln Sparrow (at least 2)
House Finch


Good birding.
