Great morning at Discovery park. In one small area among the maples, and all
within an hour, I saw many YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERs, several TOWNSEND'S WARBLERs,
one BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLER, numerous ORANGE-CROWNED WARLBERs and WILSON'S
WARBLERs, a couple NASHVILLE WARBLERs, one YELLOW WARBLER, and the highlight, a
bright MACGILLIVRAY'S WARBLER skulking out of the shrubs to drink from a puddle
on the trail. I searched endlessly in what I thought could be Common
Yellowthroat habitat at the park to make a 9-warbler trip, but I guess I don't
know where they are or if they are at Disco Park. In the same area as the
warblers, 2 empid flycatchers were flitting around, but I couldn't ID. Also
around were a LINCOLN'S SPARROW, RUBY-CROWNED KINGLETs, HUTTON'S VIREO's, both
CHICKADEES, and well, the usual suspects.

I've been to discovery quite a bit this spring, and this seems to be the first
push of warbler migration, and it seems big.
