Hi Don Campbell and I looked for almost 1 hour at the regular spot by the 3/8 mile marker. We also scanned by the 1400 m marker. There was a lot of train activity so we walked further along the trail past the 1600 m marker where the path splits in 2 around a small clump of trees and grasses. In the grasses we found a small group of Chickadees and then the Blue-gray Gnatcatcher appeared. A jogger flushed the birds across the path and we had good looks at the Wilsons Warbler followed quickly by great (but brief) looks at the Black-throated Gray Warbler. That was at 12:20 today.
