I went for a long hike last Friday at Bidwell Park and had a great birding day. I saw Acorn Woodpeckers, Scrub Jays, California Quail, Western Kingbirds, Oak Titmouse, Red Tailed Hawks, Red Shouldered HAwks, turkey Vultures, Spotted and California Towhee, Bushtits, Tree Swallow, Violet Green Swallows, PAcific Slope Flycatcher, and two new birds, phainopepla and Ash Throated Flycatcher.
For Fathers day I took the kids to Mt. Lassen for a hike and we saw a number of birds. Bald Eagle, Steller's Jay, Dark Eyed Junco, American Robin ( the plumpest Robin I have ever seen), Yellow Rumped Warbler, Black HEaded Grosbeak, Cliff and Tree Swallows and two new Woodpeckers. A Black backed Woodpecker and a Pileated Woodpecker. No good pictures from this trip but I am going back in a few weeks to get some photos
Good trips, we are heading down to the river this evening so maybe I will have some pictures to post from that
