- Map: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&t=p&z=13&<q...>,-119.849045&<ll...>,-119.849045 - Checklist: https://ebird.org/checklist/S171754010 - Comments: "In dead tree in field to the right as you’re walking to the lake, just past the meadow with the tree swallow boxes. Same size as a scrub jay. Small size was striking, definitely not a Cooper’s. Great detail on chest with rusty barring. Tree swallow was harassing it."
