My only question: Do you suppose this was a migrating bird stopping for a rest or one of the returning breeding birds? The habitat was mixed bushes, fiddlenecks and poppies. A small puddle of water (from water runoff from above) may have been the attraction. Many highly caffeinated ALLEN'S HUMMINGBIRDS zipping by and attacking anything that moved. RUFOUS-CROWNED SPARROWS singing everywhere At least four vocal CALIFORNIA THRASHERS One MERLIN was at the intersection of Pearl Avenue and Branham Lane (less than a quarter mile from my house but not on my yard list) at 6 pm. Get out there and BIRD!
