Temple Quarry, Little Cottonwood Canyon



I just spent a great 30 minutes walking around the temple quarry at the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon this evening (6:00pm).  In spite of quite a bit of foot and bicycle traffic there were so many birds it was hard to choose which one to look at sometimes.  This is what I saw:
 
Orange-crowned Warbler (male and female)
Black-throated Grey Warbler (great looks, right down to the yellow "headlights")
Black-caped Chickadee
Ruby-crowned Kinglet
Spotted Towhee
Yellow-rumped Warbler (Audubon's)
Chipping Sparrow
Downy Woodpecker
American Robin
Magpie
House Finch
 
It's nice to have such great luck so close to home.
