Day 19.157: Other birds on Saddleback

Some more of our Saddleback Mountain bird sightings:

Yellow-rumpled warbler

Dark-eyed junco. This is where they come when the desert the lowlands in the spring

Blackpoll warbler

White-throated sparrow 

Singing his heart out

White-throated sparrow 

Dark-eyed junco

White-throated sparrow

Ruby-crowned kinglet

Ruby-crowned kinglet

Magnolia warbler

We had an amazing flying display from these two young common ravens


And a nice close look when they took a break
