Hi, all!
 
Mary Jane Syvertsen, Pat Heirs, and myself met Marie Stewart over at  
Frontera early this morning where we were able to find the Golden-crowned  
Warbler in a feeding flock fairly quickly; upon entering the "woods" we  
basically 
kept to the left as we encountered intersections, and the flock was in  an 
area where you could see where the trail made a bend to the right through 
the  trees.  The "tac" notes were pretty distinctive, and we also had Catbirds 
 and Nashville Warblers in the group.  Other migrants included Indigo  
Buntings, Wilson's, Black-and-white and Black-throated Green Warblers, and a  
large stream of Turkey Vultures with a few Swainson's Hawks thrown in!  I  was 
pleased to get a female Rufous Hummingbird for the year.
 
About the only photos I got were of butterflies, which were out the yin  
yang, especially Mestras and Snouts!  I shot a couple that I wouldn't mind  
some feedback on.
