I spent a couple hours at Camp Long on Saturday morning. The Orange-crowned
Warblers were singing and I saw some misc Flycatcher for a brief 5
seconds. A Hermit Thrush landed on the trail in front of me (2 feet) and
stayed there for 5 minutes or so. Of course he gave me that "too bad you
don't have your camera look". There were 2 Coopers Hawks. One adult bird
was chased over the open grass area by a flock of crows and when I walked
over to where it might have been a juvenile bird landed in the Arbutus above
me. Very Cool. I followed her down a few trees and she finally stopped
above a small pond and stayed there until I left.
