[SBB] Rufous-crowned Sparrow

[Janna Pauser <[[email protected]]>]

I did a two mile loop in Quicksilver Co. Park from the McAbee entrance 
this morning. My FOS Ash-throated Flycatcher was calling from a tree up 
the hill and another heard along the Mine Hill Trail. Cal. Thrasher and 
Wrentits heard along the Guadalupe Trail where many Yellow-rumped 
Warblers were singing in the oaks. A pair of Western Bluebirds were 
sitting side by side on the wire at the crest of the hill again. The 
female flew into a woodpecker cavity near the top of a telephone pole. 
So that's why they're hanging around!! Just yesterday I was hoping to 
see WEBL in a natural cavity.

The following birds were seen carrying food, presumably to nestling's. 
Bewicks Wren, Oak Titmouse, Dark-eyed Junco and Common Raven. The raven 
was circling overhead for some time, not sure of his intentions.

At the junction of Senador and Guadalupe trails I heard a Rufous-crowned 
Sparrow singing. I walked west 50 yards from the bench and found the 
RCSP perched atop a clump of Coyote brush. Walking down the Senador 
trail, I came to a birdy area where I saw Bewicks Wren, Wrentit, and 
heard a Wilson's Warbler. A Warbling Vireo, and several Hermit Thrush 
were singing further up the hillside. I had five Orange-crowned Warblers 
with two seen and seven calling Hutton's Vireos with a pair seen near 
the entrance.
