All,
Brian Christman and I stopped at the Spring Valley entrance of Ed Levin Park and were able to relocate the YELLOW-BELLIED SAPSUCKER in a very short time. The bird was more easily seen today than last time, and foraged openly in the tamarisk trees. It seemed to me that its facial markings and back spotting was more crisply defined than before, but it could have been the lack of wind and the bird's relaxed behavior today.
Next up was the BLACK-AND-WHITE WARBLER along Penitencia Creek. We parked at Kyle Street, crossed Penitencia and found the bird foraging in the sycamores 20 yards west of the wooden bridge. As noted, it's an active bird that flits about considerably, often working the branches like a Nuthatch. Another birder named Billie joined us and all three of us were able to spot the bird again as it approached closely and allowed us good looks from every angle. What a great looking bird!
