I waited by the pond for the bird to fly in for a drink, which he did about 30 minutes later. After no more than a minute or so by the pond he flew back across the road and disappeared about halfway up the grassy slope, which may be where he hangs out between drinks. There were also a couple of LARK SPARROWS, several HORNED LARKS, and at least 2 singing GRASSHOPPER SPARROWS, one of which perched obligingly on a barbed-wire fence for scope views. Ted Chandik who I saw up there said he saw some PIPITS by the road just below the coral. Several savannah sparrows and meadowlarks were also singing. When as I drove downhill from the summit I saw two WESTERN KINGBIRDS, a soaring WHITE-TAILED KITE, & several WESTERN BLUEBIRDS.
