There are at least 2 pair of Gray Catbirds
hanging out west of Paradise. One pair is just below the river
bridge. You can park and go stand on the bridge for a while and they
usually show. The other pair is about 100 yards west of the bridge in
McMurdie Hollow. Right where the side road goes off to the North
and by the Speed Limit Sign is a good vantage point. You want to be
careful here though and stay within about 30 feet of the sign as there is a
sheer drop off just a little further west.
The Eastern Kingbird has been seen just about 75
yards east of the river bridge.
Sometimes a dipper may also be seen at the river.
To get on the right road, go west on 8700 South
in Paradise. Other birds seen in this area this week
include:
Lazuli Bunting
Bullock's Oriole
Black-headed Grosbeak
Canada Goose
Mallard
Killdeer

Great Blue Heron
Chickadee
Olive-sided Flycatcher
Western Kingbird
Broad-tailed Hummingbird
Rough-winged Swallow
Barn Swallow
Meadow Lark
Pheasant
Mourning Dove
Cedar Waxwing
Yellow Warbler
and others. It is a rather birdy area.
