Checklist Comments

0810-0935; full walk arfound the point was more than I had planned on, since I wanted to stay by the thickets which were pretty good for warblers. The out 3/4 mile was essentially dead. Highlights were a Yellow-breasted Chat and a hummingbird that got away. The hummer came in while I was playing the EASO/chickadee mix paused and gave me a quick look at extensive peach-buff flanks and an abnormally short tail. I suspected Calliope but the hummer immediately turned tail and flew off to the east, never to be seen again despite playing CAHU, RUHU, NOPO, and EASO for another 20 mins. Another good bird that "got away".
