Jim?Chiropolos and I ventured out to Sunol Regional Park this morning in the light rain, spending most of the time along Camp Ohlone Road. Our highlights were two Calliope Hummingbirds seen well up the road and a Eurasian Collared-Dove in the open area as you approach the parking lot at the vehicle bridge.
Some other highlights of the 54 species seen:
Black-shouldered Kite near the visitors center
Cooper's Hawk
Common Merganser
Green Heron
Eurasian Collared-Dove
Olive-side Flycatcher (4)
Western Wood-Pewee (2)
Lazuli Buntings (many)
Bullock's Oriole
Cassin's Vireo (many)
Western Tanager
Warbling Vireo in nest
Golden-crowned Sparrow? - interesting in both being so late in the season and being about the only sparrow species seen
Might have also seen Vaux Swifts but couldn't confirm.
Even in the rain Sunol Regional Park is a gem.
