What a good day it turned out to be, 35 spieces in all! Orioles, Orioles, Orioles! We found Orioles: in the Eucs by the parking lot, in the sycamores in Sycamore Gulch, in the trees north of the water tank at the top of the trail and more Orioles at the Elm Picnic Area. We saw both BULLOCK'S ORIOLEs and HOODED ORIOLEs. Also seen at the parking lot was a large flock of CEDAR WAXWINGs, TREE SWALLOWs, and BARN SWALLOWs. We found two very cooperative GRASSHOPPER SPARROWs on the hill to the right after the gate to Sycamore Gulch. Sycamore Gulch was very birdy including: Orioles, WESTERN KINGBIRD, LESSER GOLDFINCH, HOUSE FINCH, ANNA'S HUMMINGBIRD, CALIFORNIA TOWHEE, GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROW, WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW, and a pair of RUFOUS-CROWNED SPARROWs. The Rufous-crowned Sparrows appear to have a nest in the tall grass at the base of the left most sycamore on the right side of the trail. The BIRD of the DAY was a male LAZULI BUNTING. He was singing on the fence wire just up the trail from Sycamore Gulch. (note: We re-found both the Grasshopper and the Rufous-crowned sparrows as we walked back down the trail but not the Lazuli Bunting.) Coming back down the trail we saw a selasphorus humming bird. We saw many RED-TAILED HAWKs but no Golden Eagles. A YELLOW-BILLED MAGPIE was seen at the top of the trail. At the Elm Picnic Area we saw a GREAT BLUE HERON gophering, (the gopher it caught was huge!) Also at the Elm Picnic Area we flushed a BARN OWL that flew from tree to tree before settling back into the pine tree where we first saw it.
