Except for one NOPA in the VC parking lot, the PIWA behind the VC, and the
adult and young BAWW, all the warblers were near the top. One flock at the
saddle stairs had several BTNW, the other NOPA, the BLBW, and 2 BAWW. The
other flock was at the stairs to the top from the upper parking lot, the
rest of the BTNW and the CERW.
