For everyone's information,  we looked for the GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROW late 
this  afternoon, between 3:15 and 4:00. There were many White-throats and  
White-crowneds working under the bushes in the previously described area. I 
was  not aware of hearing the GC's chip note, but we heard its call, the 
shrill  descending glissando, twice. Later the bird appeared in the grass 
between the  bushes and the road for a minute or so, not wonderful looks, in the 
fading  daylight, but adequate. (No photo ops, though.)
 
We spent a little time looking for the Rough-legged Hawk, but did not see  
it, though we did see Amanda Spears, who had not been able to find it  
either.
