Walking along 59th between Shattuck & Telegraph (north Oakland) yesterday I came upon quite a bit of activity in and under 2 trees with berries (one with red, the other with tiny white).
There were, I think, 2 Bewick's wrens, one of which pursued a moth/butterfly in flight, which I've never seen before. It caught the insect for just a second, but lost it, then fluttered after it.
Also seen:
Bushtits
Yellow-rumped warbler (my FOS sighting)
Emponid flycatchers
California towhee
Scrub jay
House finches
House sparrow.
Just down the street there was a Black phoebe, too.
