Today at Lytle there were a lot  of W. migrants. I had two Townsend's 
Warblers the first I've saw this  Spring. One was a beautiful singing male. 
Also the first Brown-crested Flycatcher that I've seen out there at Lytle 
this year. I had a Cassin's Vireo there too. The best bird I had was a 
calling Least Flycatcher that I was able to get very good looks at. It was 
near the end of the property.

This afternoon I went up to Pine Valley and most of the breeding birds have 
arrived. Tanagers and Grosbeaks singing, along with Plumbeous and Warbling 
Vireo's. There were quite a few Grace's and Audubon's singing also a couple 
Virginia's.A lot of Dusky Flycatchers calling and a couple doing the full 
song and defending there territory. Also another season of trying to tell 
apart the songs of Chipping Sparrows and Dark-eyed Junco's. Along with the 
rest of the montane birds it was a very nice afternoon up there.

The Bronzed Cowbird was still there last night at 6:30. it was on the G C 
near the dead end road.
