On 1/2/03 I, like many others, decided to check out Calero Reservoir, again with similar results, ROCK WREN, SPOTTED SANDPIPER, SAY'S PHOEBE, WESTERN GREBE, CLARK'S GREBE, EARED GREBE, PIED-BILLED GREBE, CANADA GOOSE (1), COMMON GOLDENEYE, LESSER SCAUP, RING-NECKED DUCK (about 50), AMERICAN WHITE PELICAN (4) to name a few. I had at least two GOLDEN EAGLES (one on a power pole near the entrance to the boat ramp and another a couple minutes later near the nest on the power tower south of McLean Rd). While birding from the boat ramp I thought I saw a Pacific Loon, in bad light, along the southeastern shore (a big bird sitting low in the water with a small dagger type bill carried horizontally). I raced over to the stables, parked illegally and hurried out to the point where I was unable to find such a bird despite an extensive search. I was also unable to locate a favorite Bald Eagle perch (or the BAEA itself). Today, after checking out the BROWN BOOBY in Princeton Harbor, I went to Riverside Golf Course where I was able to locate the PACIFIC LOON and three GREAT-TAILED GRACKLES (two adult males). Feeling lucky I once again tried for and, once again, failed to find the Bald Eagle at Calero. This time I had three GOLDEN EAGLES, two on the nest and a third high on the hill south of the boat ramp.
