We go to the native plant garden in Tilden fairly regularly. We don't
often see a great number of species in any visit, but we do see birds
there that we rarely (or never) have seen anywhere else. In the past we
have seen band tailed pigeons, phainopeplas, golden eagles, blue grey
gnatcatchers, pileated woodpecker, downey woodpecker, black headed
grosbeaks and brown creepers there, in addition to the regulars
suspects: black phoebes, stellars jays, scrub jays, California brown
towhees, and (seasonally) golden crowned sparrows.
Today, we saw
Hermit thrushes
Bewick's wren
spotted towhee
golden crowned sparrows
ruby crowned kinglet (either three birds or the same bird in three
different places)
robin
Another birder who was there saw a varied thrush
