Orange-crowned Warbler ?
I have often seen these yellow birds around the sandbar, and on my side of the creek up by the sandbar. I believe they are Orange-crowned warblers. I remember in s spring I saw 6-12 of them together. I took this yesterday in the middle of the day.

Kingfisher in flight
I have seen two of these guys. And they do have a main area along one bank where they hang out alot. Unfortunately I did find a baby bird on the island, freshly killed by the fox. :.( I am not sure what kind of bird it was.

Winter Wren
I am happy to say I saw a pair of these little guys around 10:25 am, on a nice sunny day, around 64 degrees.
