At Arastradero Preserve on this beautiful morning, I turned up 2
ASH-THROATED FLYCATCHERS (1 seen), 5 WARBLING VIREOS (1 seen), 2 HOUSE
WRENS (1 seen and photoed, see below), 5+ ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS, 1 LAZULI
BUNTING (seen), and 2 BULLOCK'S ORIOLES.

Also, at the lake, 1 GREEN HERON.

Laggards included 5 GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROWS and 1 YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER
(Myrtle).

As far as breeding behavior goes, a RED-SHOULDERED HAWK was carrying food
to nest, and a pair of WHITE-TAILED KITES were perched together (see photo
below).

I was going to add WESTERN BLUEBIRDS carrying food to nest, at nestbox 3,
but here's what I actually saw: the male first leaned into the nest as if
feeding a young bird, then hopped inside; the female came to the outside
and leaned in, meeting what could have been the adult male's bill. I
couldn't actually see them exchange anything. Then the male exited, the
female went inside, and the same apparent bill touching. Again, I couldn't
see actual food being exchanged, or fecal sacs for that matter. Neither of
them was carrying nesting material.

Got a nice picture of a Violet-green Swallow, also below.
