Birded Friday afternoon at Black Diamond Mines Regional Preserve from about 2:00pm to 7:00 pm. Wonderful place, great light. Stopped along the upper entrance road, very birdy in the picnic area, walked some of the Chaparral Loop Trail. 

Highlight was a Cooper's Hawk harassing a Red Tailed Hawk for 5-10 minutes. It was quite a show.
