I don't recall seeing one there before, though it is listed on the checklist. Other birds of interest included a flock of American Pipits, a Golden Eagle, a Peregrine Falcon, and, despite the construction, we found two Burrowing Owls on a mound pretty close to the northern-most portion of the fence that runs east-west (the section of the fenced area that is recessed). Last Saturday and today, I hiked at Monte Bello up to Black Mountain. Last Saturday, there was a Says Phoebe along Bella Vista Trail. Both times, there was a flock of Cedar Waxwings hanging around the trees near the intersection of the road/trails east of the backpack camp. Hanging around them was a bird that I couldn't ID, since I didn't have my book and I wasn't able to stick around long enough to study it. All of them were flycatching, but I don't think this bird was a flycatcher. It was of similar size, and judging from the color, a female, with a long notched tail and light yellow wash on the breast, otherwise seemingly gray. The shape reminded me of Mockingbird, but it wasn't one of those either. I didn't notice if it had wing bars, but definitely no mask or bright colors. I think the bird was also with the flock last week. At the top, we spotted a couple of White-Throated Swifts. An interesting sighting on the descent was a coyote patiently waiting for something to pop out, then pouncing (unsuccessfully).
