I watched an orange crowned warbler, in my fields this evening, for almost an hour. He was foraging in a densely vegetated field, a combination of buckthorn stems and goldenrod. Although hard to see all of at any one moment, I could see the slight streaking on the yellowish breast and sides, the yellowish undertail coverts and the split eye ring. Head looked greyish, and the orange crown remained concealed. He stayed in the same area (say under an acre) for a long time, poking into the leaves, until I finally lost track of him. Otherwise, still lots of palms and yellowrumps. Both kinglets in the shrubs and pines by the pond. Little flocks of white crowned sparrows, a few white throated sparrows, one Lincoln's. Red breasted nuthatches in the pines around the house.
