But no warblers or empids so I walked on down the tour road. I found a couple of silent Traill's Flycatchers. This one is less colorful than the calling Alders I had last week and has a very narrow eye ring so it might be a Willow Flycatcher.
Walking on the Pintail Lakes trail I saw a small greenish bird fly into a tepeguaje and thought it was going to be a Lesser Goldfinch but then it sounded "ee...ee...ee...ee". Northern Beardless-Tyrannulet has been easy to see lately at Santa Ana.
Wood Storks up ahead! They have been a little late for me this year. I wasn't too worried about flushing them as I knew they would just go over to the other pond.
I studied these two teal in eclipse plumage. I guess they are Blue-winged Teal. I don't think the bill is large enough for Cinnamon.
Four Long-billed Dowitchers and a Stilt Sandpiper.
Young Tricolored Heron.
Lastly a "clacking" Ringed Kingfisher.
Then I got rained on and the almost dry trail turned back into tacky mud. I was getting hot anyway.
