Hi Everyone!
Today the Birdathon team "Run for the Hills" (led by me and Edward Rooks) headed out to Grant Ranch.
We had a very fun and birdy day with so many favorite moments! We spotted the two *Bald Eagles* soaring, one right next to the very small-in-comparison *Red-tailed Hawk*. We found two *Yellow Warblers*, a first of the season sighting for many of us. Other warblers included 2 *Nashville Warblers*, a *Wilson's Warbler *or two, *Yellow-rumped Warblers* and *Orange-crowned Warblers*. There were at least a couple of *Lawrence's Goldfinch* pairs spotted. And, towards the end of our trip, a male *Lazuli Bunting* was singing from an exposed branch so that we could all finally get a great look at what we had been hearing everywhere all morning. Lastly, a very red and yellow *Western Tanager* stayed still high in a eucalyptus for us all to enjoy.
