A trip to Summerhill on Lick Street did not produce the CLAY-COLORED SPARROW. At 9:30 we were pretty much fogged in and a strong breeze was blowing. We did find PURPLE FINCH, INDIGO BUNTING, OVENBIRD, CHIPPING SPARROW and FIELD SPARROW. I also heard BLUE-WING song but without a visual I believe it is now impossible to positively ID the bird. This spring I have seen BLUE-WING, GOLDEN-WING and LAWRENCE'S WARBLER all sing BLUE-WING song. I don't think I have heard GOLDEN-WING song yet this year. On Hoag Road we found OVENBIRD, RED-EYED VIREO, NORTHERN WATERTHRUSH, CATBIRD, GREAT-CRESTED FLYCATCHER, YELLOW-THROATED VIREO, MOURNING WARBLER, BLACK-THROATED BLUE WARBLER and, most interesting, at the east end two or maybe three GOLDEN-CROWNED KINGLETS. The Kinglets were singing the complete song so I believe they are breeding here.
