The black & white was nowhere to be seen by 1:30 or so. I stuck around quite a while with a couple of other birders, but he was a no show. There were yellow-rumped & Townsend's, juncos, ruby crowned

Thanks to Sharon Jue for finding the Black and White Warbler. Today she was accommodating at 10:30 as the fog was burning off, and very many birds were present including the pretty female. I took some

After Aaron left, we re-found the continuing Bar-tailed Godwit, but it took about an hour.  Aaron, it was re-found about 2 minutes after you drove away. Many birders were able to view it, and some of
