Yellow-breasted Chat
We had hiked this trail 2 1/8 miles from the TH a few weeks ago and had seen several Lewis's woodpeckers flying around an area with many snags. While I baby sat our 2 young grandsons at Big Pines CG, Bob and our youngest son returned today to view them again. They were feeding their young and fun to watch. They also saw goldfinch, Lazuli Buntings, and yellow-breasted chats. As an added note we had been camping at Big Pines since Friday AM and while there saw nighthawks each day in the late afternoon and evening. They are great fun to watch and listen to!
