The area between the Fragrance Garden and the Chinese Cultural Garden Gate in the middle of the southern portion of the park was quite birdy, with at least 7 species coming to bathe in the narrow little water channel. Along with many YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS (including at last one "MYRTLE" WARBLER), were 5 to 7 TOWNSEND'S WARBLERS, and 2 or 3 ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS. I got a brief glimpse at a gray-headed warbler, but it may have been a gray-headed Orange-crowned Warbler :(. Careful scrutiny of the 26+ DARK-EYED JUNCOS turned up 2 "SLATE-COLORED" JUNCOS and checking the NORTHERN FLICKERS turned up a mostly YELLOW-SHAFTED FLICKER (a female with yellow underwings and tail, a tan face with a gray crown and hindneck, but lacking the red nuchal collar). Somewhat surprising in this urban setting were a single OAK TITMOUSE and an ACORN WOODPECKER. Interesting ducks on the various ponds included 2 adult male COMMON MERGANSERS and two adult male RING-NECKED DUCKS. A very birdy park!
