Return of cool weather made the Cliff Fen to Black Dog Trail a good place for exercise. Rob finally got his FOY Sandhill Cranes with a leisurely fly-over by four of them, heading west to east. The expected summer residents were present, but it was especially gratifying to hear and briefly see the returned Bell's Vireos. There were at least 2, possibly 3 of them, not in the prior location by the first power stanchion pair, but further east along the trail, next to the 2nd power stanchion, about where the Chat hung out one summer. (TR Michaels, it was good to see you again.) Linda
