For those not familiar with Cape Hills it is ridges and ravines; very wooded.
I birded along Martin-Martin Road and Soaper-Crowder Road and the Moist Soils
Unit.
The Moist Soils Unit was very disappointing. Good water in the impoundments but
nothing there.
Highlights:

FOS empidonax
White-eyed Vireos seemed to be everywhere.
