[EBB Sightings] Mt. Diablo

mark,

Isn't it rare to see Cassin's Finches in this area?  Aren't they  
normally higher elevation birds?

All- I got a mid-mornng start up Mitchell canyon. Birding was good,  
slow and the required a lot of work but the results were worth it.
MacGillivary Warblers-2,
Western tanagers-2,
Solitary vireo,
Hammonds flycatchers - few (John thought he saw a Dusky)
Rufous Hummer, Allen, Anna, but no Calliopes, maybe due to poor year  
for sage flowering.
Cassin's finches, male and female in oak near parking lot-crisply  
marked female was key.
Purple Finch, 5 species of woodpecker, Golden eagles, Hermit thurshes  
and fox sparows, all in all about 50 species.
