All,

This morning Frank Vanslager and I checked out Calero Reservoir.  There were lots of ducks on the eastern portion of the reservoir and at one point several hundred noisy CANADA GEESE arrived (nothing special with them).  We were somewhat surprised to find three WILSON'S SNIPE on the west side of the launch ramp only to find a Baker's Dozen (13) on the far eastern portion of the reservoir.  As we made our way down the park headquarters access road we must have seen at least fifty WILD TURKEYS in four different flocks (many were perched high in and flew down from large Oaks lining the northern edge of the access road).  Despite the fact that there were lots of AMERICAN WIGEON we were unable to find a Eurasian Wigeon reported earlier.  Sandpipers included a few Dowitchers, GREATER YELLOWLEGS, KILLDEER, LEAST SANDPIPERS and at least one DUNLIN.  Three to four SAY'S PHOEBES were spotted, a small flock of COMMON MERGANSERS quickly disappeared around a point of land ahead of power boat and Frank managed to find a GOLDEN EAGLE perched in a tree near the southern skyline.  As we watched an unidentified brownish Falcon quickly swept up and into an isolated Oak near the edge of the southeastern portion of the reservoir.  It later settled into a nest.  This bird had no white on its back.  Earlier we saw a juvenile NORTHERN HARRIER, RED-TAILED HAWKS, RED-SHOULDERED HAWKS and WHITE-TAILED KITES.  Passerines included YELLOW-RUMPED WARBLERS, a RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET, both Crowned Sparrows and a couple cooperative CALIFORNIA THRASHERS.  We then birded a portion of the Coyote Creek "Bike Trail" just above where Coyote Ranch Rd meets Monterey Hwy. (south of Metcalf Rd).  We had more "Butter Butts," Ruby-crowned Kinglets, White-crowned Sparrows, Red-tailed and Red-shouldered Hawks.  We added DOWNY, NUTTALL'S and HAIRY WOODPECKERS, OAK TITMICE, BUSHTIT, WHITE-BREASTED NUTHATCH and BEWICK'S WREN.
