Message: Several birds of interest were seen at Lytle Ranch this morning. A 
YELLOW-THROATED VIREO was seen in the berry/bramble patch just north of the 
orchard and east of the road. Shortly after that, Jack Binch and I found the 
mixed flock of Brewers and chipping sparrows and with much perseverence were 
able to find a CLAY-COLORED SPARROW with them in the short grass in the 
orchard. While watching the sparrows, many red-naped sapsuckers were flying 
about. One of the birds was a RED-BREASTED SAPSUCKER, a juvenile southern 
race bird that appeared very nearly as pictured in Sibleys. It was 
definitely *not* a hybrid bird, two of which I saw last week elsewhere. 
While Jack was trying to get photos - which unfortauntely was not possible - 
he saw a vireo that may have been a BLUE-CAPPED VIREO. The bird was very 
high in a large tree near the shop and did not permit sufficiently close 
scrutiny to make the call. I will be returning to Lytle tomorrow in an 
attempt to relocate and document the two vireos.
