Cap Sante Overlook

My last blog told about photographing the shorebirds I had found at the marina.  I later the same day went up to the Cap Sante Overlook to try to photograph the reflection off of a male Anna’s hummingbird‘s gorget (as shown on a prior blog).  I wasn’t successful on this day, but I did obtain a few photos of the hummingbird.

On the way back down from the overlook I paused at a jumble of bushes beside the road and decided to do a little “pishing” to see what might pop up.  I had no sooner began begun than I saw a bird fly from the upper story of a fir tree behind the bushes.  I continued pishing and soon a male Yellow-rumped warbler (Audubon’s race) appeared from the bushes and I obtained several good photos of the bird.
