The number of birds was pretty modest until I worked the area along the creek north of the trailer - many YELLOW WARBLERS in this stretch, as well as a few other things. A dark juvenile PEREGRINE FALCON was perched on a snag near the trailer, occasionally harassing the STARLINGS. Later a second large brown falcon flew east over the creek (after the Peregrine?) and at 7:20am I had the PRAIRIE FALCON flying slowly north along the edge of the sludge ponds. I had my first LINCOLN'S SPARROW of the fall, but a peek at the banding board revealed that I had been scooped - one was banded yesterday. A MERGANSER flew south over the overflow channel, but I was too deep in the brush to get a good look and identify it to species. The GRAY FOX was still hanging around and quite bold.

Our target was Common Poorwill and any other nocturnal species. We went in at the McAbee Rd. entrance. Before twilight, TURKEY VULTUREs flew in to a roost on the ridge above the Senador Mine plaque. A baby California Kingsnake soaked up the last bit of warmth that the ground could offer before nightfall. A half moon kept the area well-lit as twilight faded when the first poorwill responded to a tape. We had poorwill responding from two directions with possibly as many as 4 individuals. Kendric Smith, Kathy Robertson, and others actually saw a couple of flight silhouettes before the birds started calling from one direction. Good rods.... When the poorwill stopped responding, I switched to a Western Screech- Owl tape and one responded immediately from the tree right next to us. After a few minutes of triangulating and searching, Jan Hintermeister spotted the little gray owl and everyone was able to enjoy a nice long look. I tried the poorwill tape again but Karen DeMello and Jan only heard a short response. Further tries were futile and it seemed that the window for response had closed. So, we didn't get a clear view of one sitting on the ground, as I did last week. I will be taking in two more groups, on Thursday, 9/19, and Saturday, 9/21. I expect that the experiences will be different. If you are interested in joining us on these nights, there are still some spaces. By the way, the head ranger told me that one of the reasons for the permit was that the Park has two reservoirs and they are still on reservoir watch. We did not see any terrorists in the park.
