	We are into the second tier of migrants here with Yellow-rumped
Warblers, Fox Sparrow, Flickers, Brown Creepers, Tree Swallow, and
several flocks of Rusty Blackbirds all arriving in the last two days.
	 
	I heard a Brown Creeper doing it's high pitched etherial and
ventriloquistic call the other day and tried to track it down.  I have
never seen one singing and they always seem too busy creeping up tree
trucks to pause to sing.  This one seemed to be holding in an area of
dense hemlock and cedar and I tried to find it for 15-20 minutes w/o a
clear view as it continued to sing from its' perch or cling.  Just
wondered if anyone has seen one in a singing posture.
