This morning I went over to La Rinconada Park to GPS some nests and it was quite birdy there. The Nuttall's Woodpecker Nestlings have fledged and the Oak Titmouse was checking out the hole. Lots of Chickadees, Bushtits, Juncos and Spotted Towhees. At the second bridge, the juvenile Cooper's Hawk continues to hunt. He had a blackbird and just sat in the tree and plucked all the feathers and then ate the bird..... unbelievable to watch. Also at this bridge is a Pacific Slope Flycatcher. The Ash-throated Flycatcher was at the third bridge and would fly back to the nest box at the end of the dirt path. California Quail, Bewick's Wrens, Robins, Anna's Hummingbirds and Thrashers also made a showing. The Red-tailed Hawks continue to flyover the park as do the Cliff Swallows. >From there I went to Vasona to check on the Great Blue Heron Rookery. All have fledged now and a special treat of a new pair have come in to begin nesting in nest 2. Two magnificent adult full breeding plumaged birds. Just beautiful. The Killdeer continues on the nest, but now only with two eggs. I guess the crow that has been stalking her took her other three eggs. The Pied-billed Grebe nest is just about above water. It looks like the water level changed and the poor Grebe's nest isn't doing well. I watched the Coots feed their little ones and after 10 days the fledgling Coots are now diving for themselves. Beautiful Western Bluebirds are flying about looking for food. The Cliff Swallows are in various stages of nest building...some are completed, while others are still building. Okay, hope everyone gets out to do the Summer Bird Count tomorrow...... Good birding and my best regards, Linda Sullivan _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
