Kingbirds perched on the fence near the entrance. I thought I head more Allen's Hummingbirds a short way up the trail, but they turned out to be 2 male Rufous Hummingbirds that settled onto a twiggy shrub in the sun, for great views. Saw two and heard many singing Rufous crowned Sparrows, who's song is somewhat like a House Wren. A pair of Bullocks Orioles flew by. A Rock Wren was on the rock wall and another two spotted further along the wall. Many Grasshopper Sparrows singing from the Oat grass and we finally saw one perched on a rock very close to us. A pair of W. Bluebirds were in a shrub near a nest box. A beautiful Ash throated Flycatcher was catching bugs from a perch near the creek. A Black headed Grosbeak was singing somewhere along the Fortini trail, as well as a California Thrasher seen perched in the sage. A California Quail was guarding his covey from the top of a fence post. Red tailed hawks were soaring with several Turkey Vultures. A male Kestrel was being mobbed by Violet Green Swallows. Colorful Cliff Swallows were perched on a wire. Still lots of wildflowers in bloom here, including Mariposa Lily, Jewel flower and Clarkia. We stopped near Schillingsburg and saw one eaglet chick on the nest. It had a white head and darker body. As we drove away a Bald Eagle few past us. We returned to the nest and saw a dark adult eagle with the chick, so I assume they are Golden Eagles. Does anyone know if the Bald Eagles are nesting at Calero?
