Brown-crested Flycatcher near Scissors Crossing

Russ and I made a trip to a few birding spots on the desert this morning. We found a pair of Brown-crested Flycatchers north of Scissor Crossing in the first big clump of cottonwood trees. We had visited the spot in Sentac Canyon (by the welcome to Anza-Borrego sign) where there have been BC Flycatchers recently, and while I thought I heard the BCFL call  right as we got out of the car, we never heard them again while we walked around.

Saw at least 5 Scott’s Orioles this morning. The males are up and singing.
