I had been hearing its "spik" call before its song and was trying to remember whose call it was. It was an "Aha" moment when I realized what I was seeing. Other notables heard or seen were BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER, PACIFIC-SLOPED FLYCATCHER, WARBLING VIREO, WINTER WREN, PILEATED WOODPECKER, ORANGE-CROWNED WARLBER (everywhere) and PURPLE FINCH. It was great also to hear some of the more common birds singing such as RUBY-CROWN KINGLET (What a beautiful song!!), WRENTIT, DARK-EYED JUNCO, SPOTTED TOWHEE, BEWICK'S WREN, OAT TITMOUSE, LESSER GOLFINCH and SONG SPARROW. Later, after hooking up with the Santa Cruz Audubon group, we hear in addition a CASSIN'S VIREO, AUDUBON'S WARBLER and BROWN CREEPER. The last birds seen were a NORTHERN HARRIER and WESTERN MEADOWLARK. Good birding! Peggy Don _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
