[EBB Sightings] Lazuli Buntings in Pinole

This morning (Sat, 5/5), 2 1st-year male LAZULI BUNTINGS were singing 
at San Pablo Bay Regional Shoreline in Pinole.  My records show that 
I often get one or two of these little guys each year in 
mid-May.  Interestingly, last year's sighting was on exactly the same 
date.  They never hang around.

A family of 5 Bewick's Wrens was a real treat.  By the clumsy short 
flights of the young, I would guess they fledged within the last day or so.

On a belated note, an Osprey and a pair of Bullock's Orioles were the 
highlights of a walk out to Cook's Point yesterday at Pt Pinole 
Regional Shoreline in Richmond.  There were very few shorebirds at 
Cook's Point, including 1 Semipalmated Plover.


Good birding,
