[EBB Sightings] Mitchell Canyon sightings

Despite the on and off showers, Mitchell Canyon was
showing signs of Spring this morning.  Some of the
Spring visitors included:
Townsend's Warbler (I don't care how many times you
spot this bird... it's always spectacular)
Black-headed Grosbeak
Orange-Crowned Warbler
Black throated grey warbler
Warbling vireo
Willow flycatcher

Many of the residents were also out in force:
Y R warbler
bushtit
oak titmouse
R C kinglet
vulture
wrentit
spotted towhee
ca towhee
robin
m. dove
house finch
lesser goldfinch
acorn woodpecker
bewick's wren
RW blackbird
scrub jay
stellar jay
junco

Also of note, a huge flock (100+) of cedar waxwings
are in my yard in Livermore feasting on cotton-easter
berries.  A new yard-bird for us, as we slowly
transform our property in a new development from open
field to something more bird friendly.
