I was working again in the woods along the far reaches of Kane Creek Rd off Old Stage Rd south of Gold Hill. There were 2 HOUSE WRENS singing in a clearcut and at least a dozen HERMIT WARBLERS singing in the forest. There was also a WILSON'S WARBLER singing along with the other warbler species that are already on territory. PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHER was the only flycatcher of the day. I stopped by Kirtland Ponds this evening after work and saw 27 BONAPARTE'S GULLS and 4 BLACK-BELLIED PLOVERS. The SEMIPALMATED PLOVER was still around as was the single DUNLIN. Two LONG-BILLED DOWITCHERS were feeding by themselves in the front pond. There were 6 pairs of GADWALL and 2 pairs of CINNAMON TEAL. http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S18023671 Good birding, Russ Namitz Medford
