Santa Ana NWR, 8/3/07

Spent yesterday morning at Santa Ana NWR. Saw a Clay-colored Robin behind the headquarters and then heard a singing vireo that sounded like a fast Red-eyed. Turned out to be a scruffy Yellow-green Vireo. He was hanging out between the bridge and the trail head.





It was a good morning for Empidonax with six Least, five Yellow-bellies and at at least one Alder. Saw my FOS Blue-gray Gnatcatcher. Mosquitos which were really bad last weekend were almost nonexistent on the Pintail Trail.
