Hidden Valley was windy but good for birds this morning. Sunnier, North-west corners offered the best opportunities and we enjoyed many close encounters with Palm Warblers, Golden-crowned Kinglets and Pine Siskins. Three Bald Eagles and the beginnings of the day's great Sharp-shinned Hawk flight took place overhead. Two Yellow-billed Cuckoos departed all too soon though. Leaders: Mike Crewe, Chris Marks, and Steve Weis.
