Common Yellowthroat
With the spare tire still on my car, I decided to just hike here in Old Trail. I ended up with about 30 avian species, including only one warbler species. I re-located the Common Yellowthroat that yielded only a fuzzy photo two days ago. I may have heard a Pine Warbler, but only once, so I'm not sure of it.

I saw a small flock of Cedar Waxwings. At least one of them had orange tail tips instead of yellow, which is a result of eating red honeysuckle berries that causes a dietary-induced pigment change.

An American Robin flew up from taking a bath in a creek, and after shaking off the water, I could see that its head was molting.

I saw two other thrushes nearby. In the field, I thought that the first one was a Swainson's Thrush, but now think that both were Gray-cheeked Thrushes.
