Re: [SBB] La Rinconada Park

["Jim Thomas" <[[email protected]]>]

A Brown Creeper was working up a tree at the edge of the park by the 
manicured grass along Granada Way this morning.  I didn't see as many 
species as Janna had, but did spot most of them, including Bullocks Oriole, 
Black-headed Grosbeak, and California Thrasher.
