Activity was low because we arrived at exactly the wrong time--noon! Despite the relative quiet, we were able to find many, many ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS and several TOWNSEND'S WARBLERS. Mixed in were few YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS in full alternate plumage and a single WILSON'S WARBLER. Most of the activity was in the area around the Ranger's station near the lower parking area. As well, there were several singing WARBLING VIREOS and BULLOCK'S ORIOLES chattering in the canopy. PURPLE FINCHES dominated the upper picnic area and a single SHARP-SHINNED HAWK crossed the sky. BAND-TAILED PIGEONS flew overhead in groups of 12-15 birds but there was little else of note. Closer to home, a pair of HOUSE FINCHES have begun building a nest in a hanging bicycle helmet on Kelly's and my balcony. I haven't seen any activity this afternoon, but this morning the birds were active, bringing various materials to the nest. I've closed the living room blinds so they won't be bothered by us. It's very exciting... Matthew Dodder http://www.birdguy.net _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
