Unable to make the meeting, the Hardys, Hybles and Chris Rimmer birded parts
of this area from about 8:30 to 10. We were specifically targeting the
Golden-winged Warbler. After a long search, we finally found a male mostly
Golden-winged. It sang both songs, had rather distinct wing bars, and a
faint yellow was under the black bib--interesting bird. Also of note we
heard BOTH cuckoos near the prison access road. We had seen several
black-billed there last weekend.
