Hi All,
I saw a Northern Parula at Joseph D. Grant, in the trees along the path leading up to the ranch house from the first parking lot (specifically around 37.33753° N, 121.71591° W). It may be the same NOPA that was being seen there at the start of the month, but the last sighting of that bird I could find was from the 18th, so it could be a different individual. I’ve attached some decent photos I got that helped me confirm the ID. It was also vocalizing a lot, so I was able to ID by song as well.

(PS, if you recognize that last name, yes I used to go by Massimo, and yes that’s the same Massimo who was super involved in the SBB community a couple years past. After a long hiatus, I’ve gotten back into birding recently, and I’m very happy to be back!)
