We spent the first hour or so birding both sides of the bridge which yielded a HAMMOND'S FLYCATCHER, a PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHER, HOUSE WREN, BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAK, BULLOCK'S ORIOLE, WARBLING VIREO, four BROWN-HEADED COWBIRDS, a small flock of GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROWS, a WHITE-THROATED SPARROW and a WILSON'S WARBLER (AKA the mentionables). We then took the trail behind the fire station on up the hill and at the intersection turned right taking the steep trail to the top of the hill and beyond. Birding was slow but we had the good fortune of finding two small mixed flocks. The first flock included BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLERS, TOWNSEND'S WARBLERS, a RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET and a Warbling Vireo. The second flock included more Black-throated Gray Warblers, more Townsend's Warblers, another Warbling Vireo and an absolutely gorgeous male HERMIT WARBLER. Other mentionables include WESTERN BLUEBIRD, ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER (near but not in with the second flock), a solo CEDAR WAXWING and, just as we were walking back down the hill shortly after I had commented on how I was sure that we would have seen them, a flock of about 20 PINE SISKINS (flew overhead). Our last species of the day was a WOOD DUCK (male) that flew upstream from the point where the creek trail meets the creek (the fallen tree still blocks the trail at a point just beyond the meadow).
