A couple of hours after work yesterday morning afforded me my 1st taste of the 
passerine migration that is upon us. Six species of warblers were seen, with 
Parula's buzzing up a storm in most suitable habitat. Also seen were Palm (1), 
and several each of Yellow-rumped, Pine, Yellow-throated, and LA. Waterthrush. 
Other breeding passerines included Yellow-throated Vireo and a few 
Gnatcatchers. Two Broad-winged Hawks were also spring 1st for me. Winter 
holdouts included singing Ruby-crowned Kinglets and Hermit Thrush.

Interesting to watch was a Cooper's Hawk which chose the wrong area to soar, as 
a very agitated male Kestrel was on it repeatedly like you know what. The Coop 
got the picture pretty quick and left for more peaceful surroundings.

Good birding!!
