Notes: The day started out promisingly, but turned very dull, possibly the
result of the game of tag a mob of STELLER'S JAYS were playing with a
SHARP-SHINNED HAWK during the last part of the session. The jays chased the
hawk around in a big circle for almost 2 hours.

The WILLOW FLYCATCHER was a very fat hatch-year bird. We heard and saw
many
presumed migrants including a flock of 50+ VAUX'S SWIFTS, SWAINSON'S
THRUSH,
BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLER and BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAK all before the
above
mentioned interspecific interactions began.
