Although there was no sign of any loons, there were lots of birds. An adult GOLDEN EAGLE flew low across the reservoir to land next to its mate on the shore. These birds waddled in the shallows before moving slightly upslope to preen. An immature GOLDEN EAGLE was soaring over the ridge northeast of the reservoir. A single FORSTER'S TERN perched atop one of the buoys. An AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN and 16+ COMMON GOLDENEYES were down near the east end of the reservoir, while 5 LESSER SCAUP and 8 COMMON MERGANSERS were up at the west end. One of the male AMERICAN WIGEONS near the boat launch appeared to have some Eurasian Wigeon genes in it, with a rusty nape and some gray areas in the neck and flanks. The bird did not appear Eurasian enough for a first generation hybrid, however. Shorebirds included a SPOTTED SANDPIPER and a WILSON'S SNIPE and the blackbird flock included 80+ TRICOLORED BLACKBIRDS and 50+ BROWN-HEADED COWBIRDS. While driving back to work, an OSPREY flew low over the Monterey Highway at Parkway Lakes. Mike Rogers _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
