Sarah Burbank and I went to find this beautiful bird this morning. We walked along the dirt path by the fence as previously described, but didn't go far enough initially. We were on the opposite side of the park, up on a hill when Sarah spotted some folks on the other side that were obviously seeing something interesting! If you go there continue walking past the white fencing, somewhat down the hill. It was in a Russian Olive at first, flew away into some cattails. A little bit later it flew back our way and onto fencing. We got really superb looks at it. It dropped to the ground a couple times, fanning out that wonderful tail, until finally flying off to the south east. This was about 8:15 this morning.
We also had a Wilson's Warbler, Chipping Sparrows, Kestrel pair, Magpies, Starlings, Blue Jay, White Breasted Nuthatch, BC Chickadees and an intergrade (is that the correct word?) male Northern Flicker with a red moustache but yellow feathers.
A nice morning out!
