Message: Arnold Smith and I (Aaron Smith) saw a Blue-headed Vireo at Garr Ranch yesterday at about 1530 in the afternoon. It was mixed in with several Cassins Vireo's. We also identified what we believe to be a Yellow-bellied Sapsucker. The Yellow-bellied Sapsucker was mixed in with 2 adult male Red-naped Sapsuckers. The Red-naped Sapsuckers both tended to hang together and did not like the Yellow-bellied. They would chase after it any time it would get close to them. The Yellow-bellied also appeared to be an adult male. We located the sapsuckers in the trees just East of the spring house. However, they were seen throughout the trees below the ranch house. The Vireo's were in the same location.

other birds of note seen at Garr Ranch were:
Mountain Chickadee
Golden-crowned Kinglet
Brown Creeper
Hermit Thrushes too many to count. they were everywhere you looked.
Townsends Solitare
Ring-necked Pheasant
The trees were alive with birds.
