Against all odds, Pat Kenny and I went to Ed Levin CP to give the Calliope Hummingbird one more chance this morning, 4/26/07. About 8am we managed only two female SELASPHORUS HUMMINGBIRDs around the dog park and locust trees. Then we headed up to the sycamores, to the water tank, and finally up the hill behind the sycamores. To the sycamores we had our first GRASSHOPPER SPARROWs of at least 3-4 for the day, LAZULI BUNTINGs, and LAWRENCE'S GOLDFINCHes. Past the sycamores we saw a light, adult SWAINSON'S HAWK disappear over a ridge to the northeast. Both VAUX'S and WHITE-THROATED SWIFTs were high over the hills. Two RUFOUS-CROWNED SPARROWs were up past the tank, and there was a LARK SPARROW in the tree right at the top. Also, a few GOLDEN-CROWNED and WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWs were still around.
