We were able to get good views at many different spring species including my first of the season ASH-THROATED FLYCATCHER and WESTERN WOOD PEWEE. The BULLOCK's ORIOLES were at all 3 locations and the SPOTTED TOWHEE's, NORTHERN FLICKER'S, CALIFORNIA THRASHERS, CALIFORNIA QUAILS and a BEWICKS WREN were often found singing from a top a snag. Isn't spring just grand! While at Picchetti, the bird that was an unexpected treat was a GREAT HORNED OWL sleeping in clear view for all to see. I have no idea if it will stick around, but you would park at Picchetti and walk toward the trail head and posted trail map. Take a step back (while facing the Winery) to clear the Oak Tree and look over the berry bushes and off toward the taller trees. (Don't know what kind of tree it was.) But the owl was 1/2 way up the tree, on an outward branch, as compared to sitting under the canopy of the tree. It was quite visible. Happy birding!
