Folks,
Have birded the Pinnacles NAP several times during the past week and have found 
some fairly good birds:
  a.. Black Vulture (nesting)
  b.. Louisiana Waterthrush
  c.. Northern Parula
  d.. B-G Gnatcatcher
  e.. Yellow-Throated Warbler
  f.. Oven Bird
  g.. Warbling Vireo
  h.. Wood Thrush
In addition there are lots of wildflowers in bloom (ergo Dwarf Crested Iris 
have started, Dwarf Larkspur, Large-Flowered Bellwort, Long-Spurred Violets, 
Wild Columbine, etc.), Springtime Darner and Ashy Clubtail dragonflies are 
flying, as are some really good butterflies (ergo Juniper Hairstreaks, Zebra 
Swallowtails, Falcate Orangetips, and Henry's Elfins) and even Hummingbird 
Moths.

Enjoy the wildlife...
