Jan and I took a non-birding trip Friday and Saturday to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. We were with nonbirders, but as you know, every birder worth his salt never goes anywhere without his binocs. My best birds were Williamson Sapsucker (lifer), Evening Grosbeaks (feeding in tops of oaks trees right below Lodge), Red Crossbills, Steller Jays, Black-throated Gray Warblers, and Black-headed Grosbeaks. While a few visitors were lucky enough to see Condors, we struck out on our various trips to the rim. There was another bird I couldn't pin down, but I suspected that it might have been a Gray Vireo which would have been another life bird.Oh well. Next time. Dan Kendrick
