To add to Florence's post, as far as I know, the Prothonotary Warbler remained a no-show at Cactus Lane. Two out of town birders were still there when I left, and I saw them later at the Grace's Warbler spot, and they told me they never saw the Prothonotary. After hearing of our failure, Larry Ballard checked as well. Last I heard, just before 1pm, he had not seen the bird. As I understand it, it had been pretty reliable up until today.
Over at Santa Ynez Road, I walked into Catlin Circle and couldn't find the Grace's Warbler. But as I was leaving, I found it in pines along the west side of Santa Ynez. I gather it had been pretty consistent in the courtyard at Catlin Circle, but today it was on Santa Ynez.
