Subject: [southbaybirds] SCVBA Trip to Vasona 10/8
Hi Everyone!

Today, Edward Rooks and I led a SCVBA field trip to Vasona County Park.
Highlights were returning winter visitors: *Ruby-crowned Kinglets*, *White
and Golden-crowned Sparrows*, *Townsend's Warblers*, *Yellow-rumped
Warblers* and *Cedar Waxwings*. Other favorite sightings were great views
of both the female and male *Belted Kingfishers*, a flock of about 50 *Bushtits
*(never seen that many together), and one *Great Egret *landing in a tree
rather higher than we would have expected.

Happy birding!
