Was working on my rose bush around 4:45PM today when I heard the Nutall's call and observed it feeding in a tree across the street. Then it flew to my tree right below the nest from last year, poked

At 10:50 this morning, I found and photographed the continuing Summer Tanager at Claremont Canyon Regional Preserve. It was in the oaks about 10 yards down the trail from the bench at the first view

Returned at 3:20 PM today. I heard others spotted him at around 130.

Observed 2 Surf scoters at San Leandro marina near bridge that goes over to dog park

Today we spent several hours birding at Contra Loma R. P.. It was a beautiful post-Christmas day with vistas of the snow-covered Sierra in the far distance. Near Loma Island we spotted a House Wren.
