Observation details
Continuing. Found by L.K. earlier. We were leaving the area when I heard the bird’s metallic chip calls, somewhat like a California Towhee, but much more rapid and brighter. I then saw what might have been the bird pop out, this was in willows along the lake in the peninsula, though we were on the west bank of the lake looking eastward to here: (35.1074270, -120.6261324). The Spotting Twohees next saw the bird pop out. I said, “That’s it!” noting its bright golden coloration, white undertail, grey-blue wings with white lower edge, green back, large black eyes. The bird flew near us and we lost sight though I did see a warbler fly back across to the peninsula.
