Well, second time's a charm! This morning around 9:15, the flock of PINE GROSBEAKS made an appearance in the "usual" spot, ca. .8 miles north from the Pacific Crest trailhead. There were at least 55 birds, all high up in the trees. At 8:45, a lone male was singing less than 1/4 mile from the parking lot, and on the hike back I encountered a small flock of ca. 5 birds. Also present were 3 WHITE-BREASTED NUTHATCHES, 4 MOUNTAIN CHICKADEES, 2 HAIRY WOODPECKERS, 2 BLACK-BACKED WOODPECKERS and 1 COMMON RAVEN.
