Subject: [sbcobirding] San Marcos Foothills, Tuesday, 4/29
Hi all,

Birded the San Marcos Foothills with friends this morning. Most notable were dozens (with an s) of Lazuli Bunting. They were everywhere. Other sightings included 3 Western Kingbird.  Got a brief look at another Flycatcher. About the size and form of an Ash-Throated but uniformly medium brown above and paler below (no yellow or rust that I could see). Could not relocate to get better field marks. Other birds of note included a Raven, a Yellow Warbler, and 2 American Kestral (1 male, 1 female). Many Cliff Swallow but could not pick out any swifts. Lots of other common local birds making lots of noise as is expected this time of year.

That's all,
Rob Lindsay
