Fifteen people enjoyed a leisurely walk along Foster Road this morning. Yellow-breasted chats and gray catbirds were very accommodating. They posed on the top of the shrubs, and serenaded us with their complete repertoire of songs and calls. Rufous hummingbirds glowed in the sunlight and put on aerial shows. Yellow warblers and black-headed grosbeaks flitted in and out of the trees and house wrens sang from the thickets. Identifying willow flycatchers and western wood peewees was easy because of their distinctive calls. A western flycatcher and warbling vireos were more of a challenge to find – but we finally were able to find them. A lazuli bunting sat on a tree limb so we all could enjoy it's brilliant blue color. It was a fun morning of birding. 39 total species were seen.
