Wild Birds Unlimited Bird Walk
Mitchell Canyon, Mt. Diablo
Leader: Chuck Groff
The day started cool, about 59 degrees and calm. It took a while before the temperature rose a bit and started a few thermals that brought in some raptors. Eventually it warmed up to the low 70's, making it a very comfortable day with good visibility.
The highlights included seeing both Downy and Hairy Woodpeckers, and the Ash-throated and Olive-sided Flycatchers that posed together and separately for as long as we cared to watch.
