Frontera Audubon Thicket, 1/13/07

This afternoon was too pretty to stay in the house so I went over to Frontera for a couple of hours of birding. There was nothing fantastic but for a few seconds I thought this Black-throated Green Warbler had a yellow breast making it a Townsend's Warbler. As you can see it's just a drab Black-throated Green.



Audubon's Yellow-rumped Warbler is usually quite uncommon in winter down here, maybe one out of every fifty yellow-rumps. There's been a lot more of them this winter.



Mr. Yellow-throated Warbler has been easy to see lately.



A warm sunny afternoon and two Qeens can no longer contain themselves.
