I went to Villa Angela/Wildwood Friday evening most noticeable were the Barn Swallows, 2 Yellow-rumped Warblers in Wildwood woods, Pine Warbler in Villa Angela main pine trees (real high up) and 4 Yellow-bellied Sapsuckers near entrance.  So today I went back around 11:45am and realized there were more birds today.  It started to rain heavy after 1pm so left at 1:45pm.  I returned around 5:15pm til 7:15pm.  Here are some of the birds I found today.  Seemed to be more sparrows here finally, more Ruby-crowned Kinglets, Creepers, new House Wren.
