From Adam Welz
Hi Peter
Fantastic birdy day in the Park today. Parulas everywhere. Spent all
my time in the southern end of things. No real rares, but some unusual
stuff and a few probables that I could not see quite well enough to
call for sure -- these included Merlin over Lookout, Pine Warbler & a
very mysterious probable juv Dickcissel on the southeast slope of
Lookout. Unusual were 2 male Purple Finch on switchback trail, a
western Palm Warbler near the new islands (Breeze Hill) & 2
Blackburnian Warbler (females) on Lookout.
Cheers
Adam
