We did a quick evening spin around the cemetery and Lake 6. Didn’t see much new
at the cemetery but the highlights were a couple mountain bluebirds, western
bluebirds, a harrier, and a gold-fronted woodpecker. We also saw what might
have been a Townsend’s solitaire again, but we didn’t get a great look at it.
Then we went around to what we call the canopy trail. It’s just north of the
dam on the east side of the lake. There are trees on either side and a bunch of
logs across the entrance. We saw an Eastern phoebe, Cooper’s hawk, and two
opossums on the lower trail, and at the top there were two verdins, a ruby
crowned kinglet, and a Carolina wren. Not a bad evening outing!
