Last March, we took a walk at Central Park in Huntington Beach, Orange County, CA. We discovered an area where yellow-rumped warblers and black phoebe were actively feeding and ignoring us completely. What a beautiful time seeing the warblers in a variety of stages of their molt into bright alternate (breeding)plumage and hearing the SNAP of the black phoebes bill as it caught its insect prey.
