The next stop was Smith Creek where we added 22 more species to our day list including ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER, WILSON'S WARBLER, WESTERN TANAGER, BAND-TAILED PIGEON, HUTTON'S VIREO, NASHVILLE WARBLER, WARBLING VIREO, CASSIN'S VIREO, MACGILLIVRAY'S WARBLER, and YELLOW WARBLER. Mike Mammoser pointed us in the direction of the MacGillivray's. I had a brief glimpse that wasn't good enough for a positive ID, but Pat made the save. We then drove over to Sierra Road. No Lapland Longspur, but at the summit corral were HORNED LARK, LARK SPARROW, and several singing GRASSHOPPER SPARROWS. We particularly enjoyed our close-up views of the latter. Our final stop this afternoon was at the intersection of Sierra and Felter Roads. A few yards up Felter from the intersection we heard bird song that sounded like a combination of oriole and chat. It was! A Bullock's Oriole sang from its perch in a tree above the road and a YELLOW-BREASTED CHAT sang at length from cover below the same tree. A bit of pishing provoked the chat into moving into view. It eventually flew up and across the road into a nearby tree and then dropped into cover for good. We added day bird 75 on the way back to the car, LAWRENCE'S GOLDFINCH. Dennis and Patricia Braddy San Ramon _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
