It's always beautiful, and today was no exception. I found most of Al Eisners birds seen on sunday. I especially enjoyed the singing House Wrens and Black headed Grosbeaks. In addition I found a pair of singing Warbling Vireos which happens to be my favorite bird. If you'd seen the bird I saw today you'd know why. I walked further upstream looking for a Dipper and found one 100 paces past Sachi's Picnic area. I waited for some time hoping it would go to a nest. I found the Oak tree following Al's excellent directions but missed the Townsends Solitaire. The area near the log cabin was especially birdy. More singing House Wrens and Black-headed Grosbeaks. A Robin sitting on a new nest too close to the nesting House Wren. A pair of Huttons Vireos were seen in nearby bushes, and a Song Sparrow sang near the creek. I always feel perfectly safe even by myself at this park, which is easily accessible by freeway. Park Ranger presence is always evident unlike Lake Almaden which is downright scary in the summer.
