Irvine Regional Park Morning

Today I headed for Irvine Regional Park, getting there just at 8 AM when it opened and was amazed at the que at the check in kiosk.  Obviously a very popular place on a sunny Saturday morning.  I was hoping to find a couple of first for me CA birds here, Lewis Woodpecker and White-breasted nuthatch, neither of which were obliging, but had a nice walk about anyway.  There was a trail race going on through the park so I tried to stay on trails it was not using, with mixed success.  Nothing really exciting, but I did hear but not see a Blue-gray gnatcatcher and chased some parrots around without getting any views for ID.
