[EBB Sightings] We dip on the Northern Parula on Wednesday, 5/24

Friends: Searching at Jewel Lake (Tilden Nature Area, Berkeley) did not 
recover the Northern Parula on Wednesday, May 24 (granted, we were looking 
between 10 am and noon, not early as when it was seen and heard on Tuesday, 
5/23). Dr. John Westlake, his wife Mary, and Nate (Moraga) and Ray (Orinda) 
and I converged independently on the Jewel Lake dam. Some braved the poison 
oak in the northwest corner, where the bird was reported from on Tuesday.
Other birds seen (heard):
Black Phoebe
Pacific-slope Flycatcher
Downy Woodpecker (female)
Chestnut-backed Chickadee
Black-headed Grosbeak
Swainson's Thrush

Spotted Towhee
Allen's Hummingbird

Mourning Dove
Red-shouldered Hawk (Heard)
Song Sparrow
Brown Creeper

Best of Birding!
