Hi Everyone-- Marcia Marvin and I spent this morning 8/26 at Crow Valley Campground. The northwest corner was the busiest spot, full of montane migrants. Warblers included Orange-crowned, Yellow, Townsend's, MacGillivray's, and Wilson's. I heard and briefly saw a Least Flycatcher. A Hermit Thrush with a redder than usual back was interesting (it didn't look like the usual auduboni, but I can't say I know what subspecies it was). There were a few pewees around, and Eastern and Western Kingbirds. A Baltimore Oriole showed briefly; we had rather better looks at several Bullock's Orioles. Two Red-breasted Nuthatches were getting water from a hopelessly small puddle.
We ate lunch at the group picnic area, where a Silver-haired Bat landed right over us. We watched it circle the barbecue grill a few times before it settled into the eaves for the day.
