I birded a mile and a half stretch of Drum Canyon Road starting about 2.5 miles N of Hwy 246. There is a densely vegetated stretch of riparian habitat on one side of the road and an oak covered hillside on the other. The entire 1.5 mile walk N was full of bird activity. Black-headed Grosbeaks were singing and flying back and forth across the road the entire route. Warblers included multiples of Townsends, Orange-crowned, Black-throated Gray, Wilson's and Yellow-rumped. Pacific-slope and Ash-throated Flycatchers were heard at a number of spots and Warbling Vireo's as well as Bewick's wrens were singing constantly.
