I went to Villa Angela/Wildwood State Parks this afternoon from 12:00 to around 3pm.  Didn't see one Yellow-rumped Warbler.  But two Orange-crowned Warblers made up for that.  It was very windy so the birds were hidden and only found in certain areas.  Here are some of the birds seen:

American Black Ducks  2
Bald Eagle 1 adult (over marina parking lot area)
Black-capped Chickadees - numerous
Brown Creeper 1
Winter Wrens 4
Golden-crowned Kinglets - multiple dozens (more numerous than Ruby)
Ruby-crowned Kinglet 2
Hermit Thrush 8
Orange-crowned Warblers 2 (together on Wildwood side)
Song Sparrows 7
Lincolns Sparrow 1
White-crowned Sparrow 2
White-throated Sparrows - many dozens
Dark-eyed Junco 2

The Orange-crowned Warblers were not in an area I normally see them.  Probably because it was windy I found them after you go into the Wildwood woods and go down to the creek and turn left.  When the path turns to the left they were in there on both side of the path for about 50 ft in all the knot weed, bushes, weeds etc.  Once I left and came back 1/2 hour later and found two.  They just didn't want to leave and my presence didn't seem to affect them as they kept returning to the same places.  Sometimes they were so close my camera couldn't focus.  Many Kinglets in there too.
