One highlight to Day #2 of our Golden Gate Audubon trip into the mountains of southern Oregon was a chance to watch two Red-breasted Nuthatches bringing food to their nestlings.  This was on the north side of Mt. Ashland, below Bull Gap.  Below: an exit, with fecal sac. Another speedy return. At the Ashland Dog Park a half hour of assiduous effort finally got one of our group his lifer view of a Yellow-breasted Chat.  Thirty feet up in a cottonwood, singing.

And we had great views of a male Calliope Hummer, on Tolman Creek Road.  Pictures later.  Klamath tomorrow.
