A late afternoon visit around 2:30pm to the Wilderness Glen park offered a total of two female Purple Finches at the very end of the trail closest to Trabuco Road and Los Alisos.\u00a0 I happened to note quite a bit of activity near the Oak Trees closest to where the creek is located.\u00a0 There was a narrower dirt trail that veered off the main trail.\u00a0 It was a these GPS coordinates (33\u00b037’56” N 117\u00b039’51” W) that the two female Purple Finches were seen (photo below).<\/p>\n

Around 3;30pm I head to the El Toro Memorial Park cemetery in hopes of getting another view of the Zone-tailed Hawk I had previously seen on December 19, 2014 but no such luck.\u00a0 However, a large amount of Varied Thrushes were found at the back end of the cemetery – a total of 12 to be exact around 4pm.\u00a0 GPS coordinates are (33\u00b038’38” N 117\u00b040’49” W) and a photo of two males below.<\/p>\n
