A small group birded Lower White Ranch Park OS this morning and had good looks and songs by the expected suspects: Blue Grosbeak, Lazuli Bunting, Yellow-breasted Chat, Black-headed Grosbeak, Yellow Warbler, Bullock's Oriole, Western Wood-Pewee, Cordilleran Flycatcher, Spotted Towhee, Lark and Vesper sparrows, American and Lesser goldfinches. Considerable water this year in Van Bibber Creek helps.
A Black-chinned Hummingbird was performing his aerial display right in our path for a female. My new observation: the BCHU does a very broad and shallow U-shaped dive, whereas I have always seen a Broad-tailed Hummingbird doing a steep and narrow U-shaped dive! Kay Kayleen A.
