Starting from the E. Dunne HQ, we took the Corral Trail and the fire road en route to Manzanita Pt. hearing and seeing typical species such as Western Wood Peewee, Bl. headed Grosbeak, Warbling Vireo, Ash-throated flycatcher and a very dapper Lark Sparrow at the intersection of Corral Trail and the fire road. At Manzanita Point we added a heard-only Cassin's Vireo, then headed down the China Hole trail through the chapparal area. No bl. chinned sparrows to be found but we did manage 5 or 6 Sage sparrows, a singing Lazuli Bunting, blue-gray gnatcatchers and a few Bewick's wrens. The Narrows between China Hole and Los Cruzeros had numerous house wrens, an orange-crowned warbler, killdeer, yellow-billed magpies and the day's only Bullock's Oriole. From there we took the fire road up and over to Poverty Flat, which was quite birdy with more Lazuli Buntings, Bl. headed Grosbeaks, Cassin's Vireo, Bl. throated Grey Warbler, Western Tanager, Pacific-slope flycatcher, and more Warbling Vireos. Looking out of place at least to this observer was a Pied-billed grebe on Coyote Creek just downstream from Poverty Flat. We decided to take the scenic route back and began the long climb up the Middle Ridge trail. Not very birdy other than heard-only Nuttall's Woodpeckers and 1 Hairy Woodpecker. 2 Stellar's Jays offered very convincing Red-tailed hawk impressions. Back up at the Manzanita Pt. fire road we heard a calling Olive-sided flycatcher. That's about it -- David Armstrong __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster.
