[EBB Sightings] Mitchell Canyon - Calliope Hummingbird

Birding Mitchell Canyon yesterday (4/13) morning with Carol Chetkovich, 
Pat Bacchetti and Mark Rauzon, we had Hammond's and Dusky Flycatchers 
(one each) on the Globe Lily trail, a Calliope Hummingbird (probably the 
same bird reported by Denise Wight), as well as multiple Nashville 
Warblers, Blue-gray Gnatcatchers and Black-headed Grosbeaks, and one 
Ash-throated Flycatcher.

Also, of local interest, Friday evening I had at least three 
Black-headed Grosbeaks singing on the Bridgeview trail in Dimond Canyon 
in Oakland.
