After missing out yesterday, I returned to the spot on Switzer Canyon Road to find the Hooded Warbler. Arriving at 11:15 I found Gary already there, armed with his camera, and with Townsend's, Wilson's and Orange-crowned Warblers in the scrubby boxelders. I did not have to wait too long for the target bird to arrive, although he gave me just short glimpses in his first visit to the area. A little while later, after Ken had joined us I got to enjoy better, longer looks at the bird.
Thus was my 535th species for the year. I have just eight more to reach 300 species in the US in 2011.
