[EBB Sightings] Mitchell Canyon3

I ran into Michael Butler in the parking lot today. As we headed down the 
trail we were greeted by a chorus of Coyote howls. We saw many of the same 
birds as Patricia and Dennis and saw PATRICIA and DENNIS  but certainly 
weren't as diligent with craning our necks as they seemed to be.  We found a 
male Blackheaded GROSBEAK singing  near it's nest  in a tree next to the 
trail . The female flew out and it flew in, still singing away. We also saw 
a PHAINOPEPLA, FOX SPARROW,  SWAINSON'S THRUSH, an a SHARPSHINNED HAWK. I 
saw a CHIPPING SPARROW and  near the parking lot was a perching RED 
SHOULDERED HAWK.
