Spent most of the morning on Breckenridge Rd., instead of just an early morning
stop for Whip-poor-wills on the way to somewhere else. Drove until the yellow
gates (twice), about 1.2 mi in, then walked the road to the reservoir and down
the stream a bit below the dam breast. I heard a Barred Owl early near the
gates. Heading back, I ran into Marc Ribaudo before dawn, listening for
Whip-poor-wills. Both of us were flummoxed by a song that turned out was a
Hooded Warbler's dawn song. Highlights of the morning were Yellow-throated
Vireos, one singing while another nearby was foraging, goodly numbers of Hooded
and Pine Warblers.
