Observation details

Continuing; discovered by Loren W earlier this morning, and re-found by Steve N. Thank you, guys!! :)) Adult female with a brown head; black breast; bright yellow underbelly; heavily barred black, white, and brown back; white rump patch. 1057 - Steve N alerted me that he had just seen it in the Pine in the NW corner of the parking lot approx here (33.646047, -117.445332). I came running over, but had just missed it. Shortly after, Steve then heard a soft tapping, assisting us in re-locating her, foraging low in a tall Pine about 15ft up, approx. here (33.6460084, -117.4449142). (I'm not a Pine expert, but I don't think it was a Coulter Pine with the huge pinecones that can knock you out, but one with sparse, thin pine needles, smaller cones, and tiny, annoying branches) ... She seemed to prefer a certain section of the tree, straying no more than 2ft up nor down. I would recommend looking for the red exposed bark on the main trunk, past the first layer of thick needled branches, which is visible from the northside of the Parking Lot fence. She briefly left the tree, headed slightly SE, but returned once more, where we observed her happily foraging until we left her. I did not notice any vocalizations.
