The part of the trail we walked yesterday was the easy part. The black capped vireos are on the plateau at the top of the steep part of the trail. We walked past all the other birds singing until we heard the bird we were after. The black capped vireos were singing like crazy. That didn’t make them easy to find, they stay low and in cover, but we got them. #493, Black Capped Vireo. We also got a walk through oak and maple forest canyons. 27,000 steps on Judy’s pedometer.
The birds didn’t hold still for any pictures, but the landscape did. Love this place.
