Hi,
Really enjoying Spring arrivals. Up between Loma Alta and Big Rock in addition to reported birds Molly and I found Lazuli buntings, Rufous Crowned Sparrows and Horned Larks this last weekend.
We will be leading a hike for the Bird festival up there on Friday.
Also, as I understand it, this is the last stretch to help with the Marin county bird Breeding Atlas. I had a great time yesterday watching two Blue Gray Gnatcatchers building a nest. Amazing ongoing effort by Liz, Dianne, Susan, and Daphne to shepherd the surveys.
Enjoy the Springtime. Now I just need to ID a Swainson's Thrush. Best in birds, Larry Nigro [image: 6J0A2626.JPG]
