Observation details
One staked out just east of trail here: (32.7572545, -116.4380598) Was present and singing both times I passed this spot, although took long breaks (and moved around) between bouts of singing. Maddeningly difficult to locate visually even when it sounded so close; the way sound travels against the semi-bowl shaped valley really throws off the sound direction. However, I did see the bird flying between bushes after 45 mins of waiting - completely drab gray bird with a tail (that makes it long for vireos) and no spectacles. Recording.
