A great day out in Fremont Peak Park which is south of San Juan Bautista, CA. Bright sunshine and reaching 87 degrees.

First stop on way to park. Orange-crowned Warbler. Butt shot I'm afraid!
Ash-throated Flycatcher. First of the many flycatchers of the day.
Pacific-slope Flycatcher. I had a few focusing problems on the trip :-(
Approaching the peak. Stop number 2.
"The thrasher sounds like it is over there" ?
This was a good spot for Wrentits.
Up at the campground we had an Olive-sided Flycatcher next to a Western Bluebird
Olive-sided Flycatcher.
Perhaps a relative of the Pansy?
We had 2 or 3 Hermit Warblers in the trees behind the outhouses.
I couldn't decide which pictures to use so there are a few...

Last Hermit Warbler picture (for a bit).
Madrone in flower on the trail up to the peak.
I'm told this is a large Western Fence Lizard. It was about 12 inches from nose to tail.
This is a Rock Wren. Honest Guv. Another focusing problem. Note the lichen which grows on "nitrogenous deposits".
Wildflowers
Looking down the hillside on the other side of the peak.
The rocks where several Rock Wrens were interacting.
Back at the picnic spot the Hermit Warbler was still there.
This Garter snake attempted to hurl itself under Ken's Jeep.
It lived to slither another day.
