Hi, all!
Pat Heirs and I birded SPI in hopes of finding the Slate-throated Redstart
and Golden-crowned Sparrow on Saturday, but dipped on both; consolation
prizes included a brilliant male Western Tanager and a lost Brown Thrasher,
along with other colorful (and more expected) migrants! Full trip report is
