In addition to Mark's birds, my SFO group and I heard an Eastern wood Peewee.

CANADA WARBLER (1 singing M seen on island in Fuller Wetlands - strange place for this species) WILSON'S WARBLER (1 or 2 singing males, confirmed once by sight, on lower stretch of Wilson Trail North) BAY-BREASTED WARBLER (1 silent M by small footbridge on Wilson Trail North, 1 silent M on southern stretch of East Trail by pond near maintenance building, and 1 F by small pond with shelter along East Trail) BLACKBURNIAN WARBLER (2 males, one singing a few times, together by small pond with shelter, East Trail) BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLER (1 F along southern East Trail, 1 F on Wilson Trail North) CHESTNUT-SIDED WARBLER (2 with Blackburnians and female Bay-breasted, a couple along Wilson Trail North) YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER (4+ along Wilson Trail North) NORTHERN PARULA (1 heard only) So including expected five breeding warbler species (Yellow, American Redstart, Ovenbird, Northern Waterthrush, Common Yellowthroat), my warbler tally for the morning reached a somewhat satisfying 13. On the whole, though, I was struck by how few migrant warblers I heard singing - probably fewer than ten individuals. I was very surprised not to find any Magnolia Warblers or Black-throated Green Warblers at all. But I did greatly enjoy just watching common breeding birds, especially Baltimore Orioles (one male singing about three meters away, two pairs in an apparent territorial boundary standoff, etc.), Veeries (singing throughout the woods, also tolerating close approach), Wood Ducks, and many more.
