This morning, I saw an adult dark morph Broad-winged Hawk soar above Painted Cave and then fly north over E. Camino Cielo and the Cielo Vista Trail, near the intersection of Painted Cave and Camino Cielo. This area and much of the Santa Ynez Ridge top were above the clouds this morning. Next best bird in the area was a very dull gray Cassins Vireo that stopped and sang near the trail head, then continued north. It was almost 9am by the time I got to this area, so its hard to know if many migrants were passing through. The only other obvious ones were a singing Wilsons Warbler and a singing Warbling Vireo.
