Though we birded only casually, the birds remained very active in the rising temperatures of mid-morning and we managed to get great looks at singing GRASSHOPPER SPARROW perched for long periods of time on the barbed wire fence by Hotel Trail (plus others heard further back), LAZULI BUNTINGS (a dozen or two--we saw and/or heard them everywhere), BULLOCK'S ORIOLES (many still remain), CHIPPING SPARROWS, ASH-THROATED FLYCATCHERS, WARBLING VIREOS, etc. We also heard 3 WESTERN WOOD-PEWEES in the distance. Below is the complete list. Good birding!
