John,

That was a great post.  Not only a vivid description of the trail, but a 
great history lesson about the area, that many probably don't know. Your 
bird sounds like a Ruby-crowned Kinglet.  My dad often goes fishing in the 
area and tells me about the drab little birds with the rufous caps flitting 
about, and I could only think of a couple birds that would be in the area, 
CHIPPING SPARROW and RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET. RCKI is on page 394 of Sibley's 
Guide.  The song is often described (at least how I learned it) as 
Hamburger---- Hamburder--- in rapid succession.

That was a great report!  Thanks for Sharing!
