Shortly after sunrise, there was frost on the meadow and it was 37 deg. I walked up to the col west of the CDF station and then south to the first rise and then back again and north to Twin Gates with a return by the road. Things were quiet at first and there was little migrant activity. Climbing to the col I had a few AUDUBON'S WARBLERS and a WILSON'S WARBLER. South of the col I found a singing male NASHVILLE WARBLER and two singing WESTERN TANAGERS. Coming back by the road, at M.P. 15.48, I ran into a large American Goldfinch flock in the tops of the trees and there lots of warblers lower down and in the shrubs. Here I had a couple of ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS, two-to-three NASHVILLE WARBLERS, a BLACK-THROATED GRAY, two TOWNSEND'S, and a WILSON'S WARBLER. It was a tough morning for empids, however. I found two along the creek. The first was silent and moved very actively and I never had satisfactory looks. The second was singing, but I never saw the bird. His song was more like a Dusky than our other western empidonaces. Bill _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
