Baby Chickadees are cheeping from their nest box in my front yard. Their parents alert me when a Scrub Jay's around, with their loud calls. The baby Bluebirds in a nest box at Guadalupe Oak Grove park survived the storm and one chick was peeking out of the nest box at noon with both parents bringing them insects. I found a Pacific slope Flycatcher in the park today, also Red tailed and Red shouldered Hawks, a No. Flicker, two Spotted Towhees, and a male Ash throated Flycatcher sitting in a tree near a nest box. Another Bluebird pair was at nest box on the ridge of Blue Oak Hill. I confirmed the nest sites of a Nuttall's Woodpecker and a Bewicks Wren. Also found a Bushtit's completed nest on the trail that was littered with Blue Oak branch tips that blew down in the storm. We had almost three inches of rain and high winds. At Almaden lake this afternoon the Great Egrets were building nests on the island that contained many egrets and herons. There were 6 Forster's Terns nearby and a family of Canadian Geese with 6 yellow Goslings swimming together on the lake. A variety of swallows, mostly Cliff were catching bugs on the wing over the lake. A male King Bird was in a tree near the parking lot with 3 Bullock's Orioles that were calling to each other from the tree tops. A male Downy Woodpecker was in a small tree near the bathrooms. I found a Cal. Thrasher on the Alimitos Creek trail, several Anna's and Allen's Hummingbirds, Spotted Towhees, Bewicks Wrens, Song Sparrows, Red tailed and Red shouldered Hawk pairs. A Green Heron flew down the creek and I was delighted to find our 3 resident Wood Ducks, 2 male and 1 female that have been seen together since Christmas day.
