It was very quiet in mid-afternoon today but about 4:30 the birds started coming in to bathe at the water feature. Saw a female Hooded Warbler and Worn-eating Warbler bathing along with a Black and White. A Clay-colored Thrush came in for a couple of long drinks. As Dan Jones said, Frontera's annual birdathon is this Saturday. ( I will be very willing to accept pledges also, either a flat sum or a certain amount per bird seen. FYI, my team had 120 species last year, which could help you decide how much to pledge.) If you haven't visited the Thicket recently it is very lush and green this year after all the rain. I expect it will be a hotspot for most of April as more birds migrate through.
