Subject: [southbaybirds] Heintz Open Space and Calero Creek Trail
Hi Everyone!

Today, I did a couple of short bird outings. The first was at Heintz Open
Space (37.233044489128396, -121.9271865628507). I was hoping for a
MacGilvary's Warbler but I think it's too early. I could hear lots of
*Orange-crowned
Warblers* and one *Wilson's Warbler* but not much else warbler wise. I did
see two different *White-throated Sparrows *and several *Purple Finch* were
singing. This was along the flat portion of the Vista Trail.

I also made a quick stop at the Calero Creek Trail starting at Harry Rd. I
spotted the *Lawrence's** Goldfinch* (I think there might have been two)
that Janna reported earlier. There was also a pair of *Wood Ducks* in the
creek and two *Lark Sparrows *were on the trail. Lots of *Warbling Vireos*
were singing and I heard my FOS *Ash-throated Flycatcher and Western
Flycatcher.*

Happy birding!
