Highlight this morning by far was a pair of Pileated Woodpeckers seen at close range, also Red-bellied, Hairy and Downy Woodpeckers and Northern Flickers. First of the season for me were Gray Catbird and Warbling Vireo. Lowlight was 0 warblers!?!? No White-throated or White-crowned Sparrows, flycatchers or thrushes (except Robin of course) either.
There is some construction going on there and a bridge-out on the main trail so not all areas are accessible and you have to take detours.
