By the time we parked outside the fire station just after 8:00 A.M. we had 56 species including ASH-THROATED FLYCATCHER, RUFOUS-CROWNED SPARROW, WILSON'S WARBLER, ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER, BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAK, HOUSE WREN, WESTERN KINGBIRD, VIOLET-GREEN SWALLOW, BULLOCK'S ORIOLE, LARK SPARROW, WESTERN BLUEBIRD, and an immature GOLDEN EAGLE being dogged by a RED-TAILED HAWK. By contrast the birding around Smith Creek was just so-so. The only additions to the day's list were OAK TITMOUSE and NUTTALL'S WOODPECKER near the bridge, CASSIN'S VIREO, CHESTNUT-BACKED CHICKADEE, and RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET along the creek, WHITE-BREASTED NUTHATCH and BROWN CREEPER on the fire station grounds, and TOWNSEND'S WARBLER, WARBLING VIREO, HUTTON'S VIREO, and BEWICK'S WREN on the hills west of the fire station. We took the long way home and added another 33 species for an even 100 on the day. (We had 101 until I listened too closely to the voice recorder.)
