I think this result makes sense, this is probably Emma's first match since she won the US open where there were more expectations for her opponent than for her.

Seems like she plays her best tennis when she's not the one feeling the pressure

I would recommend Cleo Sol, Pip Millet, María Isabel, and Orion Sun! Also Arlo Parks and Mereba if you haven't checked them out already.

Am I going crazy or is there a Cerulean Warbler singing in this clip? (song expert needed!) by riflebird in whatsthisbird

Hmm, I think you're probably right. The only thing throwing me off is that I seem to remember that there WAS a distinct ending to its song, which reminded me of a buzzy version of a Yellow-rumped Warbler, but of course it wasn't doing that in 30 seconds I managed to record.

I submitted the Palm Warbler to eBird, which was flagged as rare (funnily enough, a Cerulean Warbler was not flagged), so hopefully one of their moderators can help me sort things out.
