My wife and I spent about an hour cycling along Wildcat Canyon Rd this
afternoon, mostly in Tilden Regn Pk. Birds were very much incidental,
at least at first, but the number of species we heard -- despite
traffic and the unpromising hour -- surprised me. Only a couple of
individuals were actually seen, none well enough to identify by sight!
Red-shouldered Hawk
Olive-sided Flycatcher -- 2 or 3, FOS for me
W. Wood-Pewee -- seems early, just e. of Inspiration Pt
Pacific-slope Flycatcher
Ash-throated Flycatcher
Hutton's Vireo
Warbling Vireo (?)
Steller's Jay
Com. Raven
Chestnut-backed Chickadee
Red-breasted Nuthatch
Am. Robin
Wrentit
Orange-crowned Warbler
Wilson's Warbler
Spotted Towhee
Calif. Towhee
Song Sparrow
Dark-eyed Junco
Black-headed Grosbeak
And there was another one or two (Bewick's Wren? Oak Titmouse?) that I
couldn't identify. Especially downhill, the wind is in your ears and
you only get one chance!
