[EBB Sightings] Sibley Volcanic RP

In Sibley mid-day today, Rufous-crowned and Lark Sparrows were teed up 
and singing on the Round Top Loop Trail just above its junction with the 
Volcanic Trail -- or is it the other way around?  I have a hard time 
matching up the map with the trail network in that part of the park. 
Anyway, they were along one of the main fire roads near the top of the 
main ridge on the northeast side of the park -- up above marker #6 of 
the interpretive trail.  A Golden Eagle was perched on a radio tower. 
Orange-crowned Warblers were numerous in the brushier areas, and a 
Pacific Slope Flycatcher called in the eucalyptus grove on the east side 
of Round Top.  I also heard an extremely loud woodpecker drumming in 
that area that I suspected was Pileated, but I couldn't spot it, and the 
only woodpeckers I heard calling were Nuttall's.

Sibley Volcanic Regional Park is on Skyline Blvd near the intersection 
with Grizzly Peak in the Oakland-Berkeley hills.
