Drive or walk around the whole campus. I have seen them right in front of the staff/reserved parking lot and around in back on two of the fields. Their web site has some neat information about their owls, too. The students have worked very hard to preserve these nesting area and limiting the college's leasing of any more land for shopping center/movie purposes. http://www.missioncollege.org/gen_info/owls.html http://www.missioncollege.org/gen_info/owls_statistics.html Kris Olson -----Original Message----- From: south-bay-birds-bounces+kristenolson=[[email protected]] [mailto:south-bay-birds-bounces+kristenolson=[[email protected]]] On Behalf Of [[email protected]] Sent: Monday, March 03, 2003 9:04 AM To: [[email protected]] Subject: [SBB] Upper Stevens Creek Park (3/02) Hiked down to Stevens Creek along the Grizzly Flats trail yesterday morning. Nothing too unusual, but was surprised at the conspicuous presence of the Pileated Woodpeckers. This was a state bird for me (I just moved here); don't quite understand why, but there was something more special about seeing and hearing them in a western pine forest than in an eastern deciduous. At least 2-3 birds calling around the trail on the way down. Finally got a good look on the way back. Also had one winter wren, which gave only a brief glimpse but then obliged with a nice song. The Varied Thrush's were not around in the early morning, but seemd to be everywhere by the parking lot at 10:30am on the way out. Other birds included Hutton's Vireo, Hermit Thrush, Townsend's Warbler, Brown Creeper, Hairy Woodpecker. Started the morning at Shoreline, hoping to get a look at a Burrowing Owl. Was unable to locate one in 10 brief minutes of searching. Did have Lincoln's Sparrow, Savannah Sparrow and Ring-necked Pheasant.
