Being in the city it is hard to know just how many warblers/tropical migrants are moving through. These notes are by song, not sight. </div>

I was on SW San Juan Island, s of False Bay, and Orange Crowned Warblers were seemingly everywhere (by song, I hardly saw any). Maybe 4-5 per mile along roads, along with a mix of Pacific Slope Flycatchers, Wilson's, Purple Finches, and onesies of other things
like Olive sided flycatchers and Black headed Grosbeaks.</div>

Yesterday, hiking to the top of Cougar Mt from SR900 (the trail s of Talus, always superb birding in migration), maybe the most migrants I've ever experienced there. Probably 25-30 Wilson's along the 2.5 miles from bottom to top, along with numbers of BH Grosbeaks,
Pacific Slope Flycatchers, three black throated greys, Western Tanagers Warbling Vireos. This is a wonderful short hike, with lovely native understory and overstory. I find Cougar in general to be excellent birding.</div>

Merlin has revolutionized my birding - I actually saw only 2-3 of these birds! And loving Birdcast - I get cynical about technology, but sometimes it really puts out!</div>
