Neither of us had been there before. Despite taking a map with us, we got lost 6 or 7 times and never did find Acorn Trail - location of Phyllis' BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHERs. But, we did stumble onto them somewhere, noticing them due to their call. They stayed pretty hidden. We also found 2 singing HOUSE WRENS beneath a tree holding 1 of the 6 or so pairs of WESTERN BLUEBIRDS we saw. A bird-box checker on his way out told us he saw several nests. We were mainly out in the grasslands (perhaps due to our geographically challenged map-reading inabilities) so never saw or heard any warblers. Saw WHITE-TAILED KITES, ACORN WOODPECKERS, heard NUTTALL'S. Absolutely balmy weather as the sun went down.
