[cobirds] Black-ch. Hummingbirds, Gray Flycatcher, BT Gray Warblers etc., SW Grand Co.

COBIRDS: what a beautiful morning in extreme SW Grand Co., where I spent about 1.7 hours slowly working CR 111 for about 1.6 miles above Radium, mainly PJ woods.  Although there are not any summer/fall records of Black-throated Gray Warblers in eBird for the county (coverage artifact?), they were the commonest species (18 on the tally sheet), all in mixed-spp flocks.  [I did not hear a song of any bird species this morning.]  Other mentionables: 1 Gray Flycatcher, 4 Black-chinned Hummingbirds, 1 Red-breasted Nuthatch (post-breeding disperser), 1 Ruby-crowned Kinglet (ditto), and, for me, the biggest surprise ... a Scrub Jay (solo wandering bird -- no scrub oak anywhere that I could see.  Gruesome details at: http://ebird.org/ebird/view/checklist?subID=S19463432.   Van Remsen (currently in Walden)
