[EBB Sightings] Berkeley Hills in the rain

Hi, all.
  I was up at the top of Marin in Berkeley ( at  Pacific
Lutheran Theological Seminary) out in the rain this
afternoon. I saw a bunch of juncos foraging on the
ground, but not much else--until I spotted some
movement through the trees. A red-shoulded hawk flew,
then perched, giving me a great look--what a beautiful
bird!
  I also spotted what looked like a wren in the dark
brush, but couldn't get much in the way of identifying
markings. Oh yes, a couple of crows and some Steller
jays made sure everyone was aware of their presence.
All the rest were staying in out of the rain I guess.
  Earlier this week I had a Coopers hawk finishing up
breakfast in our walnut tree in the north Oakland
flats. All that was left was a large bone, which the
bird carried off when disturbed by a squirrel. A few
white-crowned sparrows have stopped in the yard, as
well as a small flock of bushtits that swarms through
every so often.
Cheers,
Alan Howe
