Near where the trail splits we also had several singing BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLERS (great views of one male). A poorly seen bird, facing us with it's right side in shadow, that briefly landed in a tree near a singing Sage Sparrow was most likely a female Lazuli Bunting (a grayish throat, buffy breast, light creamy belly, brownish-red head and nape, buffy wingbars on what appeared to be an overall brownish wing, black legs and a blue-gray bill). Otherwise we had lots of singing birds that were often difficult to find; included were GRASSHOPPER SPARROW (heard only), LARK SPARROWS, PURPLE FINCHES, a pair of AMERICAN GOLDFINCHES (with a flock of LESSER GOLDFINCHES), WESTERN BLUEBIRDS, HOUSE WRENS, BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHERS (in family groups?), CASSIN'S, HUTTON'S and WARBLING VIREOS, ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER, a probable Townsend's Warbler (seen briefly in flight), ASH-THROATED FLYCATCHER, WESTERN WOOD-PEWEE and OLIVE-SIDED FLYCATCHER. A NORTHERN FLICKER tried to confuse us with an occasional short Pileated Woodpecker type call mixed in with it's long keekeekeekee call.
