I spent a couple hours at Patch #1 today in the morning, and here's what I got:

The feeding flocks at Matheson Hammock today seems to have had a bit of a turnover in species composition since last week. I did not see or hear the Brown-crested Flycatchers today, but did have several other interesting birds. At the entrance to the service road on the west side of the road, I ran across a feeding flock that contained a Black-and-white, Magnolia, and male Wilson's Warbler -- the bright yellow coloration underneath (including yellow undertail coverts) and bold black cap made it standout immediately. It called frequently with a husky, rough-sounding chip note. There was also a Yellow-throated Vireo.

Near the bathrooms, I ran across another feeding flock that included a Ruby-crowned Kinglet and an immature Baltimore Oriole.
