Today we birded for several hours in White Canyon in Mt. Diablo S.  
P.  In addition to 26 other species, we had good views of  two Varied  
Thrushes and a pair of California Thrashers.  The Varied Thrushes  
were observed from Red Road where the habitat changes from chaparral  
to a dense mixed oak/pine woodland with thick understory near the  
adjacent creek.  The wildflowers in MItchell Canyon, White Canyon and  
along the Globe Lily Trail are really starting to put on a show.

Happy Spring and Good Birding,

Paul and Nancy Schorr
Antioch
