Took the southward trail in the hills behind LCC Campus (our usual route is the
westward trail). Most noteworthy were the numbers of Hammond’s Flycatchers
without another Empidonax species, obviously a group arrival. The weather was
cold and fog as the birds were inactive, opening up to sun by late morning.
