Just before the speed bump after the driveway, in the trees across the canal. Seen by Trey, Paul B, Dave, Carlos, and me this morning. Unfortunately, we didn't see the one key field mark, the undertail, but the bird is definitely a good candidate for Ash-throated. Pale yellow ending at the belly, whitish throat, small thin bill, and paler head and back all good for Ash-throated, but I haven't seen this species since my AZ trip a few years back so I can't say for sure. The yellow is about one or two levels too bright for La Sagra's, so we can rule that one out.

One bird we can be sure of is the Black-throated Gray at Sadowski that Bonnie found. We joined Bonnie around 12:00 and she helped us relocate it. Fantabulous! I think libations are in order.

Cheers!
