[EBB Sightings] Lazuli Bunting, Grasshopper Sparrow - ALA

Hi birders,

I went out to Mines Rd. today  hoping to see MacGillivray's and/or Nashville 
Warblers at MM 7.59.  No luck  with either of those, but there was a male 
LAZULI BUNTING there around 9  am.  The only warblers I saw were Wilson's and 
Orange-crowned.  Also  had ASH-THROATED FLYCATCHER.

A late report from last Saturday (4/5/08) --  I had a singing GRASSHOPPER 
SPARROW at the north end of Lake Del Valle.  I  took the trail from the staging 
area at the end of Arroyo Rd.  Just at the  point where you reach the crest of 
the hill and can see the lake, I had the bird  uphill to the right (west), 
along a narrow dirt trail.

I believe the LABU  and GRSP are new for the cumulative list; not sure if 
anyone has reported ATFL  yet.

Good birding,
Kathy Robertson
Hayward, CA
