The best bird on our Tuesday morning walk today was an olive-sided flycatcher. The willow flycatchers have returned to the lake - we had two today. Other nice birds were several gray catbirds, black-headed grosbeaks, Bullock's orioles, western wood peewees and several yellow-breasted chats. Of course yellow warblers and house wrens were abundant. There weren't as many western tanagers today, so perhaps they are moving out of the lowlands. A black-crowned night heron was along the canal, and there were downy woodpeckers nesting in three different places. All of the birds were very vocal today. The sunny, warm weather probably is as welcome to them as it is to us. Ginger
