I went to the stairs today at Harbor Lite Lodge.
Saw:
Orange-crowned Warbler
Townsend's Warblers
Yellow-rumped Warblers
LUCY'S WARBLER (and darn if I was unable to get a photo!)
among other birds:
Purple Finches
Golden-crowned Sparrows
Anna's Hummingbirds
American Robins
Common Ravens
(gull flyovers)
The Lucy's Warbler was very uncooperative for me and I was limited for
time... I stayed about 45 minutes trying to get photos. Spotted the bird
once as it popped up from the English Ivy flowers and then landed on the
balcony next to where I was standing. I raised the camera, missed the
shot. The bird flew back into the ivy, and then skulked away from view.
I saw it long enough to note:
Gray overall, a bit of brownish-red at the base of the tail, and its
tail twitch that was a bit longer than the similarly-sized Ruby-crowned
Kinglet. What a cute little bird!
