[EBB Sightings] Blue-gray Gnatcatchers at Lake Chabot

This morning at Lake Chabot, there were several
Blue-gray Gnatcatchers on the NW side of Honker Bay. 
At least one was carrying what appeared to be nesting
material in its beak.

Some of the other birds:  Western Tanager,
Black-Headed Grosbeak, Hairy and Downy Woodpeckers,
Pacific Slope Flycatchers, Warbling Vireo, and Purple
Finches in brilliant plumage.

To get to the area where the Blue-Gray Gnatcatchers
were found, start at the marina and take the East
Shore Trail.  Just beyond mile 1.6, the trail turns to
dirt, and not too much further, take a left turn
across the bridge.  Walk a little further and turn
left on Columbine Trail.  The Gnatcatchers are found
along the trail about 100 feet past this last
intersection.

Good birding,

Sue Stanton
