With Hammond's Flycatcher and Swainson's Hawk on my mind I walked along Birabent Canyon for about two hours today. While dipping on my target birds, I did get a nice variety of local breeders (mostly), including: WHITE-THROATED SWIFT, HAIRY WOODPECKER, WESTERN WOOD-PEWEE, WESTERN FLYCATCHER, COMMON RAVEN, CLIFF SWALLOW, lots of HOUSE WREN, BEWICK'S WREN, PURPLE FINCH, LESSER GOLDFINCH, LAWRENCE'S GOLDFINCH, YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLER, TOWNSEND'S WARBLER, ORANGE-CROWNED WARBLER, YELLOW WARBLER. Best bird, though, was a NORTHERN PYGMY-OWL.
