The bird appeared relaxed (it never did not strike it's camouflage posture) and when first seen it's ear tufts were down. The bird looked so different from previous sightings (looking much fuller bodied) that it was initially taken to be a Great-horned owl. Peggy took a few photos (several I think). Pat, Roland, Frank and I later saw a male ALLEN'S HUMMINGBIRD near the entrance to the stables on the short road east of the Spring Valley Golf Course. We also spent some time checking out the flowering Eucalyptus Trees on the east side of Sandy Wool Lake. The only hummers seen were ANNA'S but we did have good views of GOLDEN EAGLES soaring over the hills to the northeast (one eagle being harassed by a "tiny" RED-TAILED HAWK) while several TREE SWALLOWS and WHITE-THROATED SWIFTS occasionally flew overhead. On our way home Frank and I stopped on Crothers Road to look for the GREATER ROADRUNNER. The bird was found, just as we were leaving, in the field immediately north of Echo Knolls Road (where we parked).
