Hermit Warbler

Ben: this is a baby bird list compared to your warbler-a-thon.  It sounds like you were pulling out all types of awesome birds.  If I were there I would have been averaging 2.5 lifers per hour.  It's a good thing we have you on the East coast.

I birded San Joaquin Wildlife Preserve (Orange County) again.  It's my routine to stop there for a half-hour or so after my Wednesday night class in Irvine.  Here are some new or interesting birds from the area:

Hermit Warbler (291)
Townsend's Warbler
Wilson's Warbler
Empidonax sp. (Pacific Slope Flycatcher?)
Forster's Tern
Black Skimmer (about 30 total)
Green Heron
Cinnamon Teal

The Hermit Warbler was a life-bird for me.  The Townsend's looks were the best that I have gotten.
