Leaving a wet service road where it had been bathing, foraging
Подробности наблюдения
Liz surveyed the fruited pines from the service road while I went up the trail. She called me down because there were birds bathing in some puddles along the service road. When I sidled up she said "just had a male Purple Finch! it flew" into the thicket at xy spot in the trees. We continued watching the various bathers, and she spotted it again. I saw the bird she was talking about. I fired a round as the bird flew, caught a blurry yet sufficient record shot. We went back to the car and grabbed the scope, and after watching the other bathers for a little while longer the bird returned, and with the scope I had nice views of the bold mask and colored wings. Great spot, Liz!!! She saw it flush later, way left (east). Down the service road: The call of a Red-breasted Nuthatch pulled me off the road into a mowed area across from the green new tank (i.e., past the rusty old tank), and as I watched the various Downy, Titmouse, and WT Sparrows feeding I caught sight of a male PUFI at head level deeper in the thicket. Couldn't tell what it was feeding on, but I did have a chance to view the brightly colored rump and wings, and though the day was far from sunny it seemed to brighten considerably with that bird in the bins. More bright white on lower flanks than the first bird. It moved to several different perches while we watched but I couldn't describe the location well enough for Liz to see it. Did not find the nuthatch.
