Today was a great one for the end of summer camp, yet I wish school still 
started in September so we could search for incoming birds for another week.   
The hot air wafted in a nice wave of western migrants all around Vollmer Peak, 
and we identified 38 of them, with one interesting vireo getting away.   The 
highlights included an Acorn Woodpecker, at least two Blue-gray Gnatcatchers, 
and two Western Tanagers, all firsts of the season for us.   Townsend's Warblers 
continued to show up all over Tilden, in numbers we haven't seen before in 
August (~ 20 this week and last), and several Hermits, which we usually find 
from mid-July onward, were seen along the ridges.   Flycatchers, swallows, 
grosbeaks, and a Lazuli Bunting added to the flurry.
On Tuesday, we found a single Black Turnstone at the tip, and a 
MacGillivray's Warbler in the interior of the Albany bulb.   Thursday was active at the 
Berkeley Marina, with the continuing Pelagic Cormorant near the north breakwater, 
two flyover N Harriers, a Wandering Tattler flying around the Hornblower 
ships, an Elegant Tern hanging out with Forster's over a cormorant feeding frenzy, 
and several Yellow Warblers in the trees at Cesar Chavez Park.
