[EBB Sightings] Mt. Diablo Audubon Society field trip

MDAS had a field trip to Mitchell Canyon in Mt. Disblo yesterday.We
were greeted at the staging area by a small flock of gobbling turkeys
and singing House Wrens.  There were large numbers of singing Lazuli
Buntings, Orange-crowned Warblers, Black-headed Grosbeaks, Cassin's
Vireos, and Wilson's Warblers.  Olive-sided Flycatchers, Western
Wood-peewees and Pacific-slope Flycatchers were seen or heard. 

A big highlight was male Hermit Warbler well seen by most in the
group. 

There was a pair of probable nesting Cooper's Hawks and a nesting
Lesser Goldfinch. 

The wildflowers were on their last legs, although there were still a
few Mariposa Lilies on the Globe Lily trail just off White Canyon.

Good Birding,

Maury Stern
