COBirders,
I visited Gregory Canyon Wednesday evening. The access is challenging as the road remains dramatically washed out from the Sept. floods, photo but there is limited parking available.Plumbeous Vireos were numerous and vocal, though difficult to see. Trying to track one down is when I was fortunate to see the Philly Vireo fly into a Ponderosa Pine. It had a very bright yellow throat and breast and a dark head with bright white supercillium. It was not singing but did offer a few "sneer" calls that readily separate it from Warbling Vireo, which nests in the canyon.
Other nice birds included heard Red-breasted Nuthatch and singing Hermit Thrush, and a displaying Yellow-breasted Chat.
