Canyon Wren is always great to find. That's been an occasional location in spring for decades, but most years they are not there. The rock is in fact "Alum Rock". The park was named based on the apparently-mistaken belief (according to wikipedia and others) that the rock contained alum.

Do not disclose information that identifies the location of nesting birds of any species, to minimize stress on the nesting birds and the risk of vandalism or abuse.
