Jeff and I were out at Fielding Garr on Sunday as well. We did see a Warbling Vireo(in the grove of cottonwoods near the spring house), a female Western Tanager, Hermit Thrush, Yellow and Yellow-rumped Warblers, Say's Phoebe(near the barn catching bugs), Robins, blackbirds and such. The highlight of our trip, however, was spotting a pair of Burrowing Owls! These little buggers had escaped our view for so many years. They made up for the almost complete lack of shorebirds on the Causeway.  I have posted the picture of the Thrush on my website www.chickadeetrails.com

                Hi All,
   
  At the Fielding-Garr Ranch Sunday we saw a small, active, plain, LBB that from the head profile, apparent eyebrow, overall coloration, lack of wing bars, and lack of underside streaks or spots, we took to be possibly a Warbling vireo.  The bird was flitting about in the large deciduous trees.  Since neither of us has good hearing, we can’t report on that aspect.  Does anyone know if there are Warbling vireos at the ranch?  Did we miss something and another ID is more likely?  Or do we need to mark this one down as just another unidentified LBB?
   
  There was a pair of Western tanagers hanging out in a Russian olive at the ranch.  We also got to see a mother antelope with a brand new kid deal harshly with a curious coyote, and a Peregrine buzz a flock of Sanderlings.  One interesting thing we repeatedly noted was Willets perched in the tops of sagebrush bushes
looked really weird to see big shorebirds perched up there like songbirds!
