I had an average day recording MacGillivray’s Warblers. They were not present in large numbers. They were also in the willows along the stream that is not their usual habitat – see photo below. I re-visited the Allred Flat campground where I had studied these birds 27 years ago during my thesis research but it was closed for the season for insect spraying.
