Mostly cloudy at first then sun & cloud 50/50 after that. Had to change my coat when the temp went up. Despite the fairly pleasant weather the park was quiet. Examination of the crowns of pine trees did not reveal Pine warblers. There were a few Eastern yellow-rumped (Myrtle). I heard RC kinglets twice but couldn't set eyes on them. Saw one Fox sparrow and one Winter wren upon arrival but none after that. I finally got to see a Field sparrow at distance but not close enough to photograph in any meaningful way. One female E. towhee just glimpsed. One Brown thrasher just buried within a thicket ... saw the head, so ID definite. One Hermit thrush, one Downy, one Hairy, no YBSS (odd), lots of White-throated sparrows. RTH x2, Vultures x 3, Sharp-shinned hawk x 1, about half a dozen flicker (not close). I hope to try again tomorrow.
