Hi,    
 
I spent a couple or so hours walking around Silver Lake. Nothing unusual,  
but fun to have the snow gone. A good trip, in the lake area I saw lots of  
Violet-green Swallows, White-crowned Sparrows, Yellow-rumps, Robins, 
Mallards,  Tree Swallows, House Finch, Lincoln's Sparrows, Red-tailed Hawk, 
Mountain  Chickadee,
Hammond's Flycatcher, Hairy Woodpeckers including a pair feeding some young 
 ones, Cordilleran Flycatcher, Western Tanager, Red-breasted Nuthatch, 
Warbling  Vireo, Song Sparrow, Spotted Sandpiper, Fox Sparrow, Broad-tailed 
Hummingbird,  Black-headed Grosbeak, and three Clark's Nutcrackers. 
 
I went up Guardsman's Pass with the intention of walking up to Jupiter  
Peak, but it started raining and there were several groups hiking up. I headed  
for home, but on the way down from the parking lot I had a Steller's Jay 
and  Northern Goshawk fly by. I will definitely go up when the weather isn't 
so  stormy and I can spend a few more hours.
