172. Cactus Wren
173. Rock Wren
174. Black-throated Sparrow
175. Western Screech Owl
The Western Screech was my first time calling in an owl on my own. Liz and I were under a joshua tree, and the bird landed about six feet above our heads. [Thanks, Micah, for getting me to buy a speaker this weekend].
On the way back, we stopped at Big Morongo Canyon Preserve where we saw a Costa's Hummingbird (176). Other good birds included Ladder-Backed Woodpecker, Hermit Thrush, and a probable drab Vermilion Flycatcher (may have been a Say's).
PS. Who got 5 birds since the 166 posting?
