Around noon today the Phainopepla was hanging out on Sawmill Rd in its
usual location. Today it was sallying from a tree/big shrub and an
evergreen in back of the vegetation right off the trail, down a little
way (toward the RR bridge) from the elderberry bushes. Funny thing
is, an Anna's Hummingbird was harassing it every time it returned to
perch after sallying out. The bird gave us very good looks at it as
it perched out in the open.

Thanks to Brian Bell for reporting yesterday that it was still there!

Good birding,
Mary
