I birded the So. Hill RecWay and adjacent trails this morning hoping the wind blew in some migrants that will stick around for Saturday's CBC field trip (7:30-noon; meet at the end of Juniper Dr.) Highlights this morning included Purple Finch, a Lousiana Waterthrush singing in the gorge about halfway between Juniper and Burns Rd., two Blue-headed Vireos, one singing, deep in the woods, and a BLACK-THROATED GREEN WARBLER singing in the brushy woods below the trail behind the Northview Drive backyards.
