For some reason I can't get my message posted on EBB. Posting it here since
I think the photos are worth sharing. Hopefully, EBB will clear me for the
future.

Rail - However got great views of Brown Thrasher and many photos. Here are a
small portion of mine. I expect?Brooke will post some of hers later.

Location:? Entered the Quarry parking lot [first parking lot on the left
after passing the entrance gate] and looked all around the back end and
along the paved trail - No Luck.  As?I continued scouting the Poison Oak,
Brooke went back toward the parking lot entrance and up the trail to the
left.  She found the bird doing its "sand bath" about 100 feet up the trail
on the right and waved me over.  The Trasher moved in-out of view on the
right crossed the trail a few times as it moved down hill then headed
towards the hillside - behind the first wooden shelter.  Moved along the
hillside for a while then crossed over the parking lot and into the shrubs
across the paved path.  We lost it there.

What fantastic views we had.
