A couple of hours of scouring No Thoroughfare Canyon this morning turned up 
quite a few Black-throated Sparrows, an ironic twist on the absence of the 
Black-chinned family previously reported.  I assume we were searching the 
correct area, but they simply weren't there this morning.  (We were on the 
No Thoroughfare trail, where it crosses a deep arroyo, up and down the 
arroyo both ways, up the trail another 1/2 mile, and up and over the little 
plateau to the left (south) of the trail).
 
Upon seeing yet another of many Black-chinned Hummingbirds buzz by, I 
mentioned off-handedly to Deb that there was a Black-chinned over there a 
minute ago...  "What?!"  Oh... not the sparrow...  Sorry....
 
The good news was that we found the previously reported Gray Vireo, which 
was a new one for us.  Also of interest in the canyon today:
 
Rock Wren
Canyon Wren (heard)
Western Tanager
Pinyon Jay
Juniper Titmouse
Cassin's Kingbirds
Lark Sparrows
Blue-gray Gnatcatcher
1 Empid, presumed Gray Flycatcher
Say's Phoebes
Gambel's Quail (heard)
