Curses!!!  I was sitting on my deck this evening, hoping I would hear one fly
over and give a night flight call ;)

> I arrived at River Lane at 10 a.m., a bit late but still with the hope
> of finding warblers. Practically the first bird I saw getting out of my
> truck was a Townsend's warbler, but few warblers were seen after that.
> Or at least, few that held still long enough or came sufficiently out of
> the foliage to identify. However, despite the time of day and the
> temperature, there were quite a few birds moving around. Notable
> sightings include:
>
> - a pair of mute swans in the reeds at the east end of the beach
> - there were about a dozen common nighthawks in the trees and on the
> ground in the sparse brush to the north of the road
> - both a downy and a hairy woodpeckers were seen, as was a northern
> flicker
> - a willow flycatcher was observed, my first at river Lane
> - plumbeous and warbling vireos were observed; several of the plumbeous
> vireos were quite vocal; and a pair of what were almost certainly
> Cassin's vireos were also seen
>
> In case Tim is interested and reads this note: no neotropical cormorants
> were observed.
