The Orange-crowned Warbler was seen just west of the pump house in the
bushes along the old canal.
Also, after the count on my way downtown I stopped at the JR Visitors
Center to look for the reported Lincoln's Sparrow. I did not find one,
but I did see a House Wren which was not reported in the tally.
