Not much in the way of new arrivals here, except a couple BULLOCK'S ORIOLES and a WARBLING VIREO. Some calling WILD TURKEYS were heard. I stopped at Uvas Canyon County Park, hoping to find Dippers, but had no luck with them. I did manage my first PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHER of the season. The boxelder bugs were swarming all over the place. A quick stop at Ogier Ponds produced my first WESTERN KINGBIRD of the year. On Sunday, 30 Mar 03, I drove up to Smith Creek to look for migrants. New arrivals included a CHIPPING SPARROW and a BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAK. In contrast to last weekend, many HOUSE WRENS were singing throughout the oak woodland and a couple BULLOCK'S ORIOLES were chattering around the fire station. A few WILD TURKEYS fled the meadow behind the fire station when I came up off the creek trail into their view. Last weekend's RED-SHOULDERED HAWK was still being very vocal. A pair of COMMON MERGANSERS flew overhead and were later found on the creek (potential breeders here?). A BUSHTIT was gathering and carrying nesting material along the creek, while a CHESTNUT-BACKED CHICKADEE was leading around newly-fledged young. Lingering wintering birds included a number of VARIED THRUSHES, a HERMIT THRUSH, a FOX SPARROW, and singing RUBY-CROWNED KINGLETS. Down at Grant Lake a pair of AMERICAN COOTS was building a nest along the shore, while a GREAT BLUE HERON was still on the nest in the eucs. A female LESSER GOLDFINCH was building a nest about 12 feet up in a live oak. A pair of NORTHERN ROUGH-WINGED SWALLOWS was checking out a hole in the building behind the visitor's center.
