    Hi, all.
      Went up to Roberts this morning around 10:00 and found the MacGillivray's still at the Graham Trail/spur to the lower parking intersection--and, as have others, heard him long before I saw him. He was in oaks to the left of the junction the whole time I saw him. Lots of very vibrantly yellow Wilson's were flitting through the Queen Anne's lace and other brush.
      Also got quick flashes of selaphorus hummers--I assume Allen's--an Anna's as they chased all over, and chestnut=backed chickadees all over the place. The usual Steller's jays and ravens were around, too.
      I caught an extremely brief glimpse of a small bird that made me think flycatcher, but which seemed to be tinged toward a warm (reddish?) brown. Couldn't find anything in my books that quite matched. 
      Enjoy your weekends!
