1/15 Orange-crowned Warbler and American Pipits at Deer Island, Etc.

[Paul Peterson]

I birded on the east side, going up to the point (or tip) and returning. This was from 11:00-1:40. A beautiful Orange-crowned Warbler with its complete underside a lemon color was not far from the parking lot. When you come to the two big thorn tangles on the hillside, that is the spot. There are a few pines here as well.
