tarichaDescription
I observed a series of mimic vocalizations which included what seemed to be an Oriole call as well as a "stylized" Kingbird call coming from the Himalayan Blackberries in a small wetland bordering Pepperwood. I was able to see the bright yellow breast plumage and grey upper body before the shy bird vanished.
