| Yellow-rumped warbler |
 |
| We were accompanied almost everywhere we went in the woods by the sounds of these red-breasted nuthatches making their "toy-horn" honking sounds |
 |
| Sometimes they get faster and faster (we assumed due to being more alarmed) on at least one occasion we heard it get higher pitched as it got faster - like a record being sped up. |
 |
| Another very common accompaniment was the much more understated whispering of golden-crowned kinglets. They were quite hard to get a decent view of however. |
