SBCOBIRDING - Message Board

This afternoon I walked part of the north slope of Santa Ynez Mountains, along Refugio Rd. While my attention was on bugs, I did get to enjoy the usual breeding birds there (because of its geography this is not a good spot for migrants): Wild Turkey, Warbling Vireo, Hutton's Vireo, Steller's Jay, Yellow Warbler, Orange-crowned Warbler, Black-headed Grosbeak, Black-chinned Hummingbird. Because of the flowers, water in Quiota Creek, and devastation of the past raining season I can highly recommend this stretch for a weekday exercise.
