On Wednesday at Santa Teresa Park Stiles Ranch Trailhead, I hiked a loop starting up the mountain switch-backs visible from the parking lot. I spotted 6 Sparrow species! Birds seen (including other interesting birds) were: GOLDEN-CROWNED SPARROW (lots), WHITE-CROWNED SPARROW (lots), SONG SPARROW (a few), RUFOUS-CROWNED SPARROW (at least 15 around various shrubs along the trailside - some refusing to budge as they scolded me with their rufous crowns on display like some kind of punk bird), a large flock of SAVANNAH SPARROW(under the IBM buildings) and two LINCOLN'S SPARROW (in same place - one still displaying some juvenile coloration). I have to say that all the sparrows were very vocal and were relatively easy to attract close with various odd sounds which they seemed curious about or to sneak up on. Also saw pair of CA THRASHERS, AMERICAN KESTREL (pr.), WHITE-TAILED KITE, SHARP-SHINNED HAWK, ROCK WREN (pr.). Good birding!
