Following the advice of local birding guru Steve Hampton, I birded along Willowbank Ditch in South Davis this morning, formerly a stretch of Putah Creek with tall trees and dense understorey. There was a good selection of migrants present, including a single Townsend's and numerous Wilson's Warblers (I'm now seeing more of these than Yellow-rumps), 2 Pacific-slope Flycatchers and a singing Warbling Vireo. Will no doubt return there soon, this time armed with mosquito repellent!
