We specifically went back to Cooper Mountain, (where the Black-Throated Gray Warblers had been seen about a month ago) on the 31st of May, because that is the last day of Spring, according to my metro area bird check list. So, I wanted to get more Spring birds checked off the list before Summer started. Well, I think we were too late for the warblers, but we saw some good stuff, and Komito even got a lifer.
