After such a lovely hike through the poppies in the lower Kern Canyon last week, we were back for another go. This time we did a point to point hike down the canyon from near Keysville to the Delonegha Bridge. The overlap with last week's hike was only about 3 miles. Many thanks to our friend Ali for shuttling us from the end back to the start. Birding was quite good all day. The dozens of Oak Titmice along the way are in full spring song, as were many Ruby-crowned Kinglets. Yellow-rumped Warblers are moving through in good numbers. And several Rufous-crowned Sparrows were a real treat. There's not much else to say other than we had a spectacular day with glorious flowers and scenery.
