Field Notes Doug Bell Location: Mt. Diablo, Contra Costa, Co., Calif. Weather: High clouds, front moving in. November 5, 1988 Maren, me, John Gaim and 2 other ladies went hiking up to Eagle Peak, NW of the main peak of Mt. Diablo. We left at the park staging area at end of Mitchell Canyon Road. Underway from 12:30 - 17:30. Steep climb! Saw Phoebe, Nuttall's Woodpecker in lower oak fields. Western Bluebird too. On way up a narrow canyon through chaparral saw & heard: Wrentits, Benicks' Wrens, Scrub Jays, Hermit Thrush, Hutton's Vireo (called this one in close with "jiriches"). Also: Marsh Hawk, Sharp-shinned Hawk, Cooper's Hawk, 1 pair of Golden eagles circling about Eagle Peak. From Eagle Peak, towards dusk, I heard White-throated Swifts, but didn't see them.
