So today I wanted an easy hike close by so I could go birdwatching. The Grizzly Flat trail is where I like to come to photograph butterflies, so I thought it might be a good one for birds. The trail is an easy climb up a fire road and we hiked it to the base of Hoyt Mountain. On this day I didn't get the opportunity to photograph a lot of birds. I saw some Ravens, Red-tailed hawks and was able to get a few photos of a Bewick’s wren, a Golden-crowned sparrow and a House finch. I heard more of them then I actually saw. A lot of them were hidden away in the trees or a bit too far away. It was still a great hike and a nice day to spend outdoors on the trail.
