All,

An early checkout of Sierra Road by Frank Vanslager and I revealed few birds 
of interest and highlighted the fact that the newly acquired park lands, at 
the top, will probably not be available for use for some time.  Since the 
land has been available (over a year) the only changes of note are numerous 
No Trespassing and No Parking signs.  A more subtle change, tall grasses, 
apparently results from the fact that cattle no longer graze the hillsides 
(this certainly effects ones ability to bird the area and would seem to 
discourage use of the area by those birds preferring short grasses).  Best 
birds were two interacting GOLDEN EAGLES.  (A juvenile seemed to be 
attacking, or possibly trying to feed from, an adult.  At one point the adult 
rolled on it's back and extended it's talons.)  Other notable birds included 
an OSPREY, RED-TAILED HAWKS, NORTHERN HARRIERS, an ACCIPITER, AMERICAN 
KESTRELS, YELLOW-BILLED MAGPIES, WESTERN BLUEBIRDS, YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS, 
two RUBY-CROWNED KINGLETS, HOUSE FINCHES, WESTERN MEADOWLARKS, WHITE-CROWNED 
SPARROWS and SAVANNAH SPARROWS.

Take care,
