Warblers at Hornsby

Danielle and I went back to Hornsby Bend this afternoon. We expected to see many shorebirds similar to previous trips. However, we only saw a handful. On the other hand, we logged many Yellow Warblers and Blue-gray Gnatcatchers.  As we drove along the path between Ponds 1 and 2, we could see that we were "herding" warblers out ahead of us.

At the end of the day, we also saw a couple Clay-colored Sparrows. We are pretty sure we have seen this species before but were not confident. These images, however, are pretty conclusive.
