I was there, also, mostly trying to stay out of Bill's way and not  
scare off his birds while trying to look like I knew what I was doing  
(mostly). I  missed both the Chipping and Clay-Colored (despite  
Bill's help). I did get a good look at the Willow Flycatcher, and it  
was nice enough to sit up for a photo:

The only bird of note I saw that Bill didn't mention was the Bewick's  
Wren, which popped up out of the Fennel near the picnic area and flew  
into the Eucalyptus. As I was leaving, I also had a Northern Harrier  
swoop over the fennel. I did see two yellow warblers, both near the  
end of my visit, and a possible third, but it might have been the 2nd  
one doubling back on me.
