Afterwards, I intended to check some Santa Clara spots near Castle Rock, but it was too crowded up there. I settled for an early PM walk along the Lake Ranch ("John Nicholas"?) trail in Sanborn-Skyline Co. Park, off Black Road. It was (mostly) shaded here, more pleasant than at Skyline, yet uncrowded. And there was quite a nice variety of birds evident for this time of day. Probably my highlight was a Winter Wren heard singing above the trail about 1/2 mile in (too far to even hope to spot it). There was one heard-only singing Yellow Warbler near the lake, four singing Wilson's Warblers (one seen), and about three or so Western Tanagers heard (one singing male seen). A number of species were heard-only: 2 singing "Solitary" (presumably Cassin's) and 1 singing Warbling Vireo, plus several Pacific-slope and Olive-sided Flycatchers. Brown Creepers included one possible fledgeling near Black Road. The edges of the Lake had a Black- crowned Night Heron along with a Great Blue and a lot of Mallards. This looks like a good spot for Wood Duck; I'd guess a morning visit might turn some up. Al Eisner _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
