I spent the entire day birding along the coast. Managed 113 species
although looking at my records it wasn't nearly as good as it was this time
last year. Highlights from the various locations are below. Plenty of Cave
Swallows on the move today and seemingly a little bit of an uptick in
warbler movement. Wilson's Warblers were showing the biggest push with 20
or so total for the day.
