[SBB] Charcoal Rd and Monte Bello OSP

[[[email protected]]]

All,
 
On the fairly flat section (first half mile) of Charcoal  Rd this morning Pat 
Kenny, Roland Kenner, Frank Vanslager and I several  good views of two, 
possibly three, HERMIT WARBLERS (males),  several BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLERS, 
ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS, TOWNSEND'S  WARBLERS, at least two YELLOW RUMPED 
WARBLERS (both females), LAZULI BUNTINGS,  BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAKS, PURPLE FINCH 
(including a closely interacting pair),  calling RED-BREASTED NUTHATCH, CASSIN'S 
VIREO, calling HUTTON'S VIREO, WARBLING  VIREO, BAND-TAILED PIGEONS, and 
CHESTNUT-BACKED CHICKADEES (as well as a few of  the more common species).  On our 
way out we also spotted Peggy  Don and her husband Bill trying to squeeze in a 
few hours of birding into  their day.  We then went to Monte Bello OSP where we 
heard a Flycatcher  giving a nice "whit" call from the Sag Pond on Canyon 
Trail; unfortunately we  were unable to locate it in the willows (thinking Willow 
Flycatcher).  Just  before Indian Creek Trail we had a nice view of a 
Red-breasted Nuthatch.   Later on Indian Creek Trail we added BLUE-GRAY GNATCATCHER 
(a year bird for me)  but we were unable to add any of the "goodies" seen 
recently on it, the Old  Ranch Trail or on the Bella Vista Trail.  An ASH-THROATED  
FLYCATCHER was on the hill above Canyon Trail near Page Mill Rd as we left 
the  park.    
 
Take care,
Bob Reiling
