Cooper Mountain Bird Walk
Bird walk, but a unseasonably warm and sunny day. Yellow-rumpled warblers were calling, and we momentarily thought the call might be an early Orange-crowned warbler, but they have not been seen yet. New flowers photographed were Pacific hound's tongue, and Milkmaids. Also spotted many Red Deadnettle in the grasses. A first blooming Iris tenax was seen on the trail. Western bluebirds appear to be nesting in the box on the lower trail - saw both male and female-we were tipped off by the millennial birding group.
