warbler zone

Spent the past two mornings at Toro Canyon Park.  I had never been, but I'd heard that it is the most under-used park in SB county, and I hoped that I might stumble upon some warblers moving through.   I was rewarded handsomely with the most busy oak trees I've ever seen, and the best warbling that I've ever been able to witness.   Here is the haul:

Wilson's
Nashville
Yellow
Orange-Crowned
Black Throated Gray
Yellow Rumped
Common Yellowthroat
Townsend's

I did make an ID on a MacGillivray's Warbler - I distinguished it from the Nashville, and had good looks at the different field marks (white eye arch's, slate gray hood, bigger in size than nash's) but I'm still hesitant to make the positive ID.  I want to ask around and see if that bird has been seen in the area during migration in years past.  If it seems likely, I'll check it.  

It was a great weekend of birding following a week of heavy rains.  Fun too, when the trees are bustling with birds and you dont have to work too hard to get a glimpse at a warbler.
