The female was feeding them in a cottonwood tree above the nest site while the male sat around singing. There were 2 GREEN HERONS at the lake, with one bird sitting in the edge of the reeds at the point. I wonder if these birds have some kind of nesting attempt going on here. A couple of TREE SWALLOWS continue to enter the dense willow clump at the end of the point. What they're doing in there is shielded from my view, but this activity seems consistent with them having a nest hole in there somewhere. At Coyote Ranch Marsh a male TRICOLORED BLACKBIRD was briefly in with the RED-WINGEDS before flying off into the Coyote Ranch Park facility across the road. I heard a ROCK WREN calling somewhere across the road from the marsh; most likely from a rocky ridge north of the open lawn area. A FORSTER'S TERN was working the small area of open water in this marsh. I had 2 COMMON MOORHENS in the marsh, and a third one in the pond-like creek expansion by the trail crossing south of Coyote Ranch Road. Also down by the trail crossing of the creek was a perched BELTED KINGFISHER showing the dusky breast band of an immature (possibly from a nearby nest site?). I've often wondered whether the palm-lined entrance road to Coyote Ranch Park hosted Hooded Orioles. Well, this day I had 2 male and 1 female HOODED ORIOLES in this area, with one of the males chasing the other all the way down Coyote Ranch Road to the creek and then returning to one of the palms.
