Randy Hill and I found the bushtits seen twice earlier at North Potholes reserve, Job Corp Dike. We had them as we were shutting the truck doors. Then the chase was on. They moved fast and both of us tried for photos. I have one decent one and I have no idea what Randy has. The birds are from the interior race as has been mentioned before. I had a high count of 22 at one time.

Randy spotted a winter wren that I got to see and he had another later. We also had two golden-crowned kinglets. I had a orange-crowned warbler as well. There were many Bewick's wrens and ruby-crowned kinglets.
