For those interested in seeing the worm-eating warblers, I got great looks
at these birds both days. If you follow the loop trail by the creek, you
will come to a bridge that cuts back over the creek towards the visitors
center on the left. Stay on the loop trail (don't go over the bridge), and
immediately the trail will do a switchback to start up the hill. I saw the
worm-eating warblers both day right in that switch back and the next 40 or
so yards starting up the hill. I saw the B&W warbler in the same area
yesterday.
The looks at the waterthrushes were also great. Four of them were "playing"
together in the stream today and gave great looks.
Many of the birds were feeding young - it's that time of the year. I saw
all of the following feeding young - la. waterthrush, worm-eating warbler,
downy woodpecker, white-breasted nuthatch. All of the young were out of the
nest, but still very demanding/begging.
