SouthBayBirders,

A few minutes of birding at Paicines Reservoir this morning netted at least
one CASSIN'S KINGBIRD (Pat's 400th life-bird!), an adult Bald Eagle, a
Ferruginous Hawk, a Cooper's Hawk, 4 Red-tailed Hawks (2 perched
side-by-side), and an American Kestrel (harassing the Eagle).

Halfway between Paicines and Panoche Valley 30 Wild Turkeys in two groups
had just crossed the road and permitted close inspection.

As we entered Panoche Valley a Ferruginous Hawk landed on the hillside south
of the road and did a complete pirouette before settling down to survey the
valley below. On the valley floor 0.2 mile west of the intersection of
Panoche and Little Panoche Roads 47 MOUNTAIN PLOVERS performed their
run-then-pose routine next to the road while scores more foraged in the
distance. A few unwary Mountain Plovers eventually wandered close enough to
provide scope-filling views - a welcome change from the rather shy Solano
County Plovers.

On Little Panoche Road just south of Shotgun Pass we spotted a rufous morph
Red-tailed Hawk. We continued north and half a mile past Mercy Hot Springs
we flushed a Golden Eagle which flew over the road and landed next to a
second Golden Eagle.
