With actual traffic on that road, including a school bus, the flock scattered and reformed several times, making it difficult to pick out additional Tricolored, if there were more than the two. Initially, we were so close to the Tricolored that the bright white wing patch was easily seen without binoculars or a scope. As the group scattered and reformed however, it was moving further away each time and even with X16 binoculars we couldn't detect more than just the two. At 11:15 am we were at Coyote Lake Park Dam where the Rock Wren finally made his appearance again. We had not seen him since 31 December. On our way out, in the Olive tree to the right of Campground Space #39, the Red-breasted Sapsucker put in an appearance.
