It was very birdy, with numerous singing Warbling Vireos and Orange crowned Warblers all along the trail, and more Chickadees than I could count. Lots of Spotted Towhees singing from the tree tops! I heard Blue Gray Gnatcatchers in half a dozen locations and saw three males, one immature. A pair of Purple Finch were sitting on a wire where I talked to the owls. I did my imitation of a N. Saw Whet Owl where I'd heard them on the Senador trail, and got a response. Then I heard what I think was a Western Screech owl call a loud kek, kek, kek, kek. I did an imitation and it answered. Meanwhile the Saw Whet Owl continued to call from another location. It was almost 7 pm by now. I found a Bewicks Wren taking a dust bath near the picnic tables. Am. Kestrel was perched on top of a large Valley Oak tree and a White tailed Kite on a snag. An Ash throated Flycatcher was seen in a bush very close to the trail near the chimneys. On the way out I caught sight of a Pacific slope Flycatcher flying around like a hummingbird, busily catching bugs. He kept going into a small Bay tree. I watched it for quite some time before I saw three baby flycatchers crowded together on a branch. They were quickly being fed by the adult. They were the cutest baby birds I've ever seen !!! If only I could describe how fresh and soft they looked. Two were facing me and on had its back to me. It's an image I will always treasure.
