Saw a black and white warbler in the Mulholland wildflower preserve this morning, accompanied by a backlit plain-colored warblerish friend I wasn't able to see clearly but am guessing was a blue-headed vireo, which was heard singing elsewhere in the woods. In the (presumed) redtail nest atop the second of four pine trees across the creek from the first bend of the creek could be seen the silhouette of a protruding tail. Blue-gray gnatcatchers and ruby-crowned kinglets still abound. A/the purple finch continues to sing outside my house in Commonland, and today I finally made the effort to visually locate it, finding it to be purple-free (i.e., immature plumage).
