I again visited the west slope of Figueroa Mountain in search of migrant activity and was not disappointed. As soon as I stepped out of the car I heard Black-throated Gray and detected Lazuli Bunting going by. I've detected pretty good movement here in the past as birds seem to move up Lisque Canyon on Sedgwick Reserve then spill over the saddle towards Foxen Canyon. Most birds were seen within the first half mile of my mile walk up the road and included Hermit, Townsends, Nashville, Orange-crowned, additional Black-throated Gray and Yellow-rumped Warblers. A bit further up the road I had an Olive-sided Flycatcher. A Greater Roadrunner was heard cooing persistently (there may have been two) on Sedgwick property near the head of Lisque Canyon.
