[EBB Sightings] Walnut Creek City Parks/Mt. Diablo Audubon Field Trip

Five birders visited 4 Walnut Creek city parks, including Heather Farm,
Howe-Homestead, Sugarloaf Open Space and and part of the Sugarloaf-Shell
Ridge Trail.  While it didn't seem to be a particularly birdy day, the total
of 47 species seen or heard is fairly good for a suburban area.  The male
Redhead was seen and has been present in Heather Farm for over 5 weeks. Also
present there were 2 Ring-necked Ducks,  8 Buffleheads, at least 6
Black-Crowned Night-Herons and a Great Blue Heron.  Four Northern Flickers
were seen in Howe-Homestead, a Varied Thrush and a Purple Finch were along
the Sugarloaf-Shell Ridge Trail near Stewart Ave, and Western Bluebirds and
many Dark-eyed Juncos were at Sugar Loaf Open Space.
