May 20th Cold Morning for Warblers

It was a very chilly morning at Bancroft Bay Park. The Warblers were not flitting from tree to tree when we first arrived but were on the ground.  The insects were plentiful in the grass and the Warbler flock was busy eating.  They hardly noticed us but would fly a short distance to continue eating as we approached. As the sun warmed the day the flock went up to trees following the insects.  Beside Warblers, there were Nuthatches, Pelicans, and Hawks.
