I headed up the mountain with the intent of going all the way to the top but found a few birds at my first stop just above the cloud layer so that plan dissolved. Best was a Hammond's Flycatcher (maybe 2) a number of Townsend's Warblers (4 at least), Warbling Vireo, Western Tanager, Western Wood-Pewee, several Pacific-slope Flycatcher and a Northern Pygmy Owl tooting well down the hill. I made a quick run out Catway road and added Cassin's Vireo and another Pewee.
