Hi everyone,
Shweta and I spent this morning birding at Joseph Grant County Park, primarily around the ranch house and the Hotel Trail. The spring birding was excellent, featuring *Ash-throated Flycatchers*, *Bullock's Orioles*, and *Western Kingbirds*. We also found numerous *Lazuli Buntings* singing in the oaks and the grasslands and several *Lawrence's Goldfinches*, which are always a highlight at this park. Many nesting birds were active, including a couple of *White-breasted Nuthatch* pairs and a *Western Bluebird* that aggressively drove away a California Ground Squirrel getting too close to its nest. In total, we spotted 56 species. You can view the full eBird checklist here: https://ebird.org/checklist/S328176155
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.
