Folks,
This morning in the surrounding tree canopy near my top floor condo, there was a large flock of warblers (maybe dozens of birds) that appeared to be all Wilson's, mostly all fairly bright immatures with some really bright males. Am assuming all in the flock were the 'Pacific' type. Oddly, there were some hummingbirds mixed in with the warbler flock. These appeared to be Rufous (-Allen's) immatures. I'm suspecting that these were likely all Rufous this-years' headed south.
