Wild Birds Unlimited Bird Walk
Mitchell Canyon, Mt. Diablo, Clayton, CA
Leaders: Mike Marchiano, Chick Chickering
It was clear and sunny, and the temperature was in
the mid-50's when we started, rising to the mid-60's
as we finished the walk.
The number of birds in the area wasn't particularly
high, but there was lots of variety and we came away
with a good number of species.
Our highlights were a Bewick's Wren who posed
magnificently for us in a nearby tree top, a squabble
between an Orange-crowned Warbler and a Western
Wood-pewee, and a magnificent Red-shouldered
Hawk soaring high above the Turkey Vultures.
