(I would have spent more time looking near the bridge if I had seen Roland's post!) My total there on Warblers (all heard singing, none actually seen) was 3 Orange-Crowned (plus more heard from the road to the west) and 2 Wilson's. The only other spring birds, apart from a few Swallows, were 3 singing House Wrens, 2 singing Warbling Vireos, 8 or so Black-headed Grosbeaks, and 4 or 5 Bullock's Orioles. Winter lingerers included a number of Golden-crowned Sparrows, and one (heard) Hermit Thrush. About 1/4 mile west along the road I heard a different singing warbler (three high zee-zee pairs, with the middle pair higher); it didn't sound like typical Townsend's or Black-throated Gray, but the latter's song in particular is variable. My most productive stop on the way back was near milepost 11.80. A singing Grasshopper Sparrow was visible not far from the road. Tree Swallows were probably nesting in a roadside oak, with Western Bluebird and a White-breasted Nuthatch (which descended to the ground) also there. A Cooper's Hawk zoomed by, stirring everything up. There were numbers of Lesser Goldfinches in the area, but I didn't detect any Lawrence's.
