BIRD STUDY GROUP
Had a nice visit to the area. It was good to find some warblers. Strange to not
have a single flyover of a raptor or vulture or crow although did hear a
Red-shouldered Hawk and some crows in the distance.

> Smith Road and finally figured out that it was a Swainson's Warbler. Later,
> at the creek below the first rise, I heard a very odd chip note. Darned if it
