[SBB] Fremont Older OSP, McClellan Ranch & Picchetti Ranch

This morning (3/29) at Fremont Older OSP Frank Vanslager and I failed to re-find the Rufous Hummingbird seen yesterday by Roland Kenner and Pat Kenny (we did however, find a Roland Kenner). There were lots of singing WARBLING VIREOS, HUTTO'S VIREOS, RUBY-CROWNED KINGLETS, ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLERS, CALIFORNIA THRASHERS and OAK TITMICE. Other birds included HARRY WOODPECKER, NORTHERN FLICKER, a HERMIT THRUSH and a TOWNSEND'S WARBLER. Later at McClellan Ranch Park we had great views of an adult male HOODED ORIOLE near the fenced-in garden. At Picchetti Ranch we had a couple different singing male BULLOCK'S ORIOLES and a soaring SHARP-SHINNED HAWK. We also had a well seen female MYRTLE WARBLER, a couple male Townsend's Warblers and a few AUDUBON'S WARBLERS on the hill above the (now dry) lake. During a quick stop at the Stevens Creek Park Chestnut Picnic Area there was lots of Thrush activity (flying back and forth across the picnic area from trees on the north side of the creek to the trees on the southern side of the picnic area) which included Hermit Thrush, AMERICAN ROBINS and VARIED THRUSH.
