We checked out Mt. Davidson in the late am (around
11). We had a probable sighting of the Hammond's Flycatcher -- I say probable because a) it's the first one I've seen and b) it was a series of very quick looks, nothing prolonged. It was in some bushes between the top of the trail leading to ravine and the summit -- it kept coming out to perch and then hiding out of view. At one point it ate a berry from the bush. The details we did get seem to confirm the ID: teardrop eye ring, pale yellow on belly, olive-gray above. It also flicked its tail vigorously when we first sighted it. Also had most of the other species reported today, and did spot a lazuli bunting in the broom near the big fence. In a separate stop had W wood peewee at Lick Mountain, and W tanager and grosbeaks in the eucs near the Coinservatory of Flowers in GGP David --- Paul Saraceni <Paul.Saraceni@...> wrote: Observations of local interest:------------------------------------------------------------------------ Easter Made Simple------------------------------------------------------------------------
