[SBB] Plumbeous Vireo continues (CCFS)

[Bill Bousman <[[email protected]]>]

Folks:

This morning, 11/1/05, I refound the PLUMBEOUS VIREO at the Coyote Creek 
Field Station at about 0925 hr..  It was east of the bander's trail along 
the creek in a grove of large cottonwoods, just south of net 9420, where 
the section of unmaintained trail starts.  Nearby were many Yellow-rumped 
Warblers, a Ruby-crowned Kinglet, and a flock of Bushtits (low 
down).  While I watched, the vireo stayed quite high in the trees and did 
not associate with any of the other passerines.  Shortly before I found 
this bird, I heard what sounded to my ears as the standard song of Hutton's 
Vireo: "dreet" or "dreep."  Hutton's are not often found on our urban 
creeks, and the "song" note was likely from the Plumbeous.  It did not 
match any song or call notes for Plumbeous Vireo on Keller's California 
Birds CD set.  Otherwise, this bird was silent.  A female/immature MERLIN 
was in the eucalyptus near the banding trailers.
