This AM I tried "Mt" Hamilton again, finding much the same as y'day,
plus 2-3 Hooded W - unusual for DC. New were Veery and Sw Thrush. Peter
Blank and Kerry Cowan (excuse sp?) met me coming out and they had seen a
Canada W, as had Thomas Jones y'day, but I missed it both days.
Walking thru Fern Valley along the little stream, I heard from the tree
tops a surprise Yellow-thr Warbler, at the "Lost Cos-Bells" sign. It
sang only twice during the 20 min I waited for it to do more.
