We wanted to look for two specific flower species, Checker Lily and Trillium, both of which we did find. But we were very fortunate to hear and find a very cooperative male Wilson's Warbler and to show it to a family with a young girl who appreciated seeing it. Spring is such a great time to be in the Cathedral of the Great Outdoors.
Yesterday a friend and I saw Golden Eagles and Western Kingbirds along Bollinger Canyon on the way into Las Trampas Regional Park. We also waited over an hour on a very muddy hillside in Bishop Ranch Open Space and were finally able to have a glimpse of the leucistic Acorn Woodpecker. This is a short way up the Gray Fox Trail off Morgan Drive in what I guess is San Ramon. The Cathedral is very big and not hard to find.
