[EBB Sightings] Wildcat Canyon Regional Park, Richmond

Excuse the late post (was giving myself a brief computer holiday). On  
Friday, May 22, from just after 5 p.m. to around 7, two friends and I  
did a casual hike/birdwalk starting at the end of Rifle Range Road,  
off the Arlington. We took Rifle Range Road Trail to Wildcat Creek  
Trail, crossed the bridge, went slightly north on Wildcat along the  
creek, and then headed up Mezue Trail. We had just over 30 species,  
despite the fog and wind. Below are the highlights.
