  Two weeks ago, Mandisa made a trip to Catalina. The trip over was

  overcast, foggy and windless. We've had these conditions before and we

  expected it to be very boring. However, about a third of the way over,

  we were surprised by a little bird landing on the boat. Then another.

  Then two or three more...

  At one point there were about seven birds on the boat. This was a mixed

  flock of Wilson's Warblers and Yellow Warblers. They came and went, but

  one little yellow guy stayed with us for most of the trip...

  He seemed almost tame and was quite curious about us - hopping around

  the cockpit, flying down below (he left a mint on my pillow!), and even

  landing on us from time to time...

  The excitement of the day must of worn him out because he stopped

  several times to take a nap...

  He was with us until we were about a mile from Catalina when he flew off.

  We've never had this happen before and it didn't happen on the trip

  back. Several friends have had warblers visit their boats, and one of

  them thinks that this population may have learned to use sailboats as

  rest stop when they're out eating bugs over the water. I don't know much

  about birds, but I sure hope it happens again.
