Seems like the migration is treating us all really well. Ben and Kev, I was very excited to read about your recent birds from this past week. It's really fun to be inundated with new, colorful birds after the favorites of winter have started moving along. Most excellent birding, dudes!
I'm flying pretty high right now - just getting home from a fun trip up to Figueroa Mountain. Beth and I brought Poppy the pup up to the spring California Poppy bloom and the catch some good spring birds. It was serene, man. We slept out last night under the intensely full moon and got an early start. We walked East Pinery rd. and had quite a cast of characters most notably:
Mountain Quail (lifer)
Hermit Warbler (life bird for me!)
Olive-Sided Flycatcher (singing it's "quick three beers" song)
Red Breasted Nuthatch
Rufous Crowned Sparrow
Violet-Green Swallows
Mountain Chickadee
Brown Creeper
I tried to take a few videos to record the calls of the Mountain Quail. It might be possible to hear the Olive Sided Flycatcher's and a singing Black Headed Grosbeak in there too:
