The weather was beautiful and colorful species were abundant. Time was divided between the riparian corridor by the farm house and high noon by the lake. Highlights included singing GRASSHOPPER SPARROW by the farm house, multitudes of BULLOCK'S ORIOLES (each one spectacular!), and at least two male WESTERN TANAGERS. A pair of BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAKS were seen, rounding out the spring color. YELLOW WARBLERS were in good numbers around the farm house as well, with WILSON'S, BLACK-THROATED GRAY, and a single YELLOW-RUMPED present as well. WESTERN KINGBIRDS and ASH-THROATED FLYCATCHERS were conspicuous and vocal. Unfortunately we logged no Hooded Orioles, Wild Turkeys or Lawrence's Goldfinches but still a wonderful trip with many great views...The complete list is below.
