The number of birds was down, but there are still a good number of migrants in the park, mostly in the cottonwoods and eucalyptus near the west end of the Meadow Trail at the southwest corner of the big lawn area. I had 1 WARBLING VIREO, 1 MACGILLIVRAY'S WARBLER (up in the cottonwoods!), 10+ YELLOW WARBLERS, 2+ "WESTERN" FLYCATCHERS, 1 ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER, and 3+ COMMON YELLOWTHROATS. I heard VAUX'S SWIFTS and, looking up, managed to count 55 of them in a big swirling flock. Eventually these birds came down low and started skimming the north end of the pond just east of the fence. They appeared to be drinking, but may have just been after insects I suppose. Their wing tips would hit the water while doing this, and the snapping sound of their wings being dried as they flew off was easily audible.
