Back at Bodega location hoping to get photos of the Lucy's Warbler, but a Townsend Warbler did show up
Townsend Warbler, town of Bodega
All the small birds at the Bodega location had a buildup of some kind of black substance, maybe tar, from someplace where they have all been feeding. There was some speculation that it is gum from nearby Eucalyptus trees, but others disputed that.
Kinglets were also in the area, this one had a pretty bad substance buildup, but seemed to be very lively and was feeding.

The warbler is accessing the flower's nectar right at the base of the flower and the plant
Below the area, a vine with berries, which was attracting robins
Brown Pelicans were diving against the bright morning light of a beautiful clear day at the coast.
Snowy Egret landed very near me, eager to get some of the fish the pelicans were catching
