Things were pretty quiet, but we did see a few interesting birds. We took the Stevens Creek Nature Trail down the creek and saw a RED-BREASTED SAPSUCKER near the meadow at the junction with the Canyon Trail. We followed the Canyon Trail southeast and saw several VARIED THRUSHES. A short distance from the parking lot on the way back we saw a juvenile GRASSHOPPER SPARROW walking along the trail ahead of us. It had a flat head, a white eye-ring, dark streaking on the breast and sides, and dark patches on the auriculars. (This is the second Grasshopper Sparrow that we've seen this week. Earlier in the week we saw an adult Grasshopper Sparrow near the Los Cerritos Pond at Calero Reservoir. That bird was very light colored, with a white eye-ring, a thin pale crown stripe, and pale rusty streaking on the breast.) But the most unexpected bird for us at Montebello today was an OSTRICH! You can imagine our surprise when we looked down the Canyon Trail a short distance and saw the ostrich slowly cross the trail and wander down the hill on the other side! Take care.
