[EBB Sightings] Mount Diablo Audubon Society Field Triip to San Pablo Creek

San Pablo Creek March 23, 2006

A wet trail did not deter 6 members and 3 guests from enjoying an early
spring walk along San Pablo Creek.  Though we saw or heard 45 species, the
day seemed to belong to the small birds, most notably Chestnut-backed
Chickadees, the Oak Titmouse, Bushtits, both Red-breasted and White-breasted
Nuthatches, Brown Creepers, many Ruby-crowned Kinglets, Orange-crowned
Warblers and a preening Hutton's Vireo.  We also avoided stepping on three
giant Banana Slugs and found a small stand of Giant Trillium and numerous
white Milkmaids.
