AV04/15 Top of the Tram 25th June 2004
A very large apology to David Novick - I must have had one of my, not unusual, Senior Moments.
Nine Summer Birders caught the first tram at 10am in standard Desert Weather. Quite warm down below but around 70 at the top with not a cloud in the sky. We saw nineteen species and argued a little about a few more (we play safe now).
Stellar's Jay, Violet Green Swallow, Pygmy Nuthatch,
Mountain Chickadee, Western Bluebird, House Wren,
Western Wood Peewee, Dusky Flycatcher, Raven,
Clark's Nutcracker, Black Phoebe, Yellow Rump Warbler,
Western Tanager, Dark Eyed Junco, American Robin,
Red Tail Hawk, Hairy Woodpecker, Olive Sided Flycatcher,
and Cassin's Finch.
Ken Wright was on cloud nine when he got the Dusky Flycatcher in his scope and left shortly afterwards - it could not get better, as it were. Beginning Birder Gayle Smithson missed it, as did your scribe, but she did get a really good sighting of a pair of Clark's Nutcracker. All in all a very pleasant outing.
We heard from Mary Norlund, who was very pleased to find 'our' Mountain Quail at Pipe's Canyon.
Wednesday walks continue at Big Morongo at 8am. Nothing else scheduled at present except a check on Pipe's Canyon tomorrow Saturday 26th June, 8am. Our Desert Rose and Dorothy intend to join me; all are welcome.

We still have listing problems to address (hence the change in the specie list above) but any comments are welcome.
Good Birding...............bb
