[EBB Sightings] Tilden Park Nature area/Jewel Lake (Buffleheads)

Wednesday afternoon I spotted, 5 female and 2 male Buffleheads on 
Jewel Lake in Tilden Park, Berkeley. Hiking the wildcat Creek and 
Upper Packrat Trail loop, highlights included 3 Wilson's Warblers, 4 
Orange-crowned Warblers and a Brown Creeper.  A Pacific-slope 
Flycatcher was singing his typical song perched on a branch and I 
heard a couple of Black-headed Grosbeaks. Several thousand honey bees 
were swarming in a Coast Live Oak 100 feet above the north end of the 
Packrat Trail making a load racket but posing no danger to hikers.
