I could find nothing out of the ordinary and noted that both Uvas and Chesbro are quite low. Chesbro did have 67 COMMON MERGANSERS (3 males). At Lake Cunningham I surveyed the large CANADA GOOSE flock grazing the picnic area and found a group of 8 small-form geese that exhibited the characters of the race minima (cackling geese). All these geese had black chins separating the white cheek patches to varying degrees. Although this is a good mark for leucopareia (aleutian), it can be shown by many small-form Canadas. They lacked any white neck rings and showed a "bronzy" tint to the dark breast. The bills were very short and the heads were fairly rounded in shape. Many had rusty staining in the white cheeks and underparts. A GREEN HERON was along the shore of the lake and an adult PEREGRINE FALCON was perched on a power tower along the edge of Reid Hillview Airport. The falcon became quite agitated when an adult GOLDEN EAGLE flew over. A stop at Cottonwood Lake in Hellyer County Park showed the GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GOOSE still present. It hangs with the domestic geese and seems quite tame. An OSPREY was seen near hwy 101 and Bernal, heading to the north, and back near my house an adult GOLDEN EAGLE was overhead.
