The BA/OSA trip to Coyote Valley found 39 species. We had a sweep of the woodpeckers, with acorn, Nuttall's, down, hairy, and flicker (the last heard only). Raptors were also good: Cooper's, red-tailed, and red-shouldered hawks, the latter very annoying, heard constantly but never seen, plus a flyover by a golden eagle. The hot spot was bridge #3, where we found Hutton's vireo, Townsend's warbler, oak titmouse, chestnut-backed chickadee, Nuttall's woodpecker, Anna's hummingbird, and house finch all foraging. The main target species, yellow-billed magpie, was present but distant. There was one Say's phoebe, a few early golden-crowned sparrows, and a short glimpse of two wrentits.
