After my work shift ended, I usually take my routine from the tennis house towards the ravine. A stop at the esdale bridge where the ambergill creek has that bird bath spot that I created two years back, a very active e showboating YELLOW WARBLER stole the limelight. It flew everywhere along that creek, across it ,landing on various perches, its bright yellow a wonderful sight to see on this slow day. Earlier about ten minutes before a bathing NORTHERN PARULA with a nearby BLACK & WHITE WARBLER were visitors to the bird bath.
Nothing much else occurred until I got to the Peninsula. Not for activity of any sort but a great look of a GREAT CRESTED FLYCATCHER above the Y fork. In setting sun, the yellow and red stands out well on this cool looking bird.
My afternoon short walk was productive ,enjoying a few birds that made the most of their presence.

There were reported FIELD SPARROW and BROWN THRASHER from Simon Taylor; the latter bird also mentioned to me from Stanley Greenberg's email.
