Mitchell Canyon, May 1, 2010

Wild Birds Unlimited Bird Walk
Mitchell Canyon, Mt. Diablo
Leader: Chuck Groff

There were nine birders and the weather was perfect--so perfect that there were at least 10000 other folks on the trail not counting all the horses and bikes. The only new bird for this location was a hermit warbler.
