Birded the park today and yesterday and the difference a bit of bad weather makes was evident. Yesterday I had three warbler species (yellow-rumped, black-throated blue and yellow) in very low numbers. Today warbler song was unavoidable, and a particularly productive spot was directly across from the restaurant along both sides of the flower-garden/waterfall that runs down to the pond. Overnight rain grounded a large number of warblers and others:
