COBirders, I visited Gregory Canyon Wednesday evening. The access is challenging as the road remains dramatically washed out from the Sept. floods, photo <https://www.flickr.com/photos/pgburke/14114925219/> but there is limited parking available.
Plumbeous Vireos were numerous and vocal, though difficult to see. Trying to track one down is when I was fortunate to see the Philly Vireo fly into a Ponderosa Pine. It had a very bright yellow throat and breast and a dark head with bright white supercillium. It was not singing but did offer a few "sneer" calls that readily separate it from Warbling Vireo, which nests in the canyon. Other nice birds included heard Red-breasted Nuthatch and singing Hermit Thrush, and a displaying Yellow-breasted Chat.
