Hi all,
Thanks to Mark Frankel for finding the continuing BLUE GRAY GNATCATCHER. It was not silent this time (this morning) and in fact I was delighted to find myself close enough to hear it doing a sub song, a.k.a. a whisper song. Yes it was definitely getting a good syrinx workout. I detected it in the scrubby coyote brush area Mark mentioned next to the entrance road and left it after watching it for at least 5 minutes as it flitted around the top of a blooming acacia.
Also finally heard (barely) the red breasted nuthatch over by the South bathrooms. I was concerned it might be the starling singing nearby but luckily I got eyes on it.
