Calero Reservoir, Sun, Nov 10: I stopped by the eastern end on Sunday for a few minutes after an all-too-brief visit with the SCVAS field trip to Ogier Ponds. Anyway, just a few things to add to Mike Mammoser's report for Saturday. One WESTERN GREBE and one HORNED GREBE were in the reservoir near the eastern end along with about 8 EARED GREBES. Over 50 COMMON MERGANSERS and three RING-BILLED DUCKS were seen as well as the other assortment of ducks. The ROCK WREN was seen again hopping about the rocky mound by the creek bed, and many TRICOLORED BLACKBIRDS were in the horse corral along with Red-winged and Brewer's Blackbirds, and lesser numbers of Brown-headed Cowbirds and European Starlings. An immature COOPER'S HAWK was perched on a wire by the horse corral. I think I read somewhere that our spring season begins with the advent of our winter rains. Well, this seemed to be apparent among some of the birds. Several male WILD TURKEYS were parading about in full display among a group of females. And on the upper end mudflats a SNOWY EGRET with his crown and breast feathers puffed out pursued a female Snowy Egret who showed no interest. That left the male SNEG to strut about stiffly with his neck stretched up and crown and breast feathers displayed in all their finery. That's it for now.
