Among the more usual birds (ring-necked pheasants, meadowlarks, overflying gulls, Marsh Hawk, cowbirds & swallows, etc, etc.) there were also the following treats near the end of Disc Drive: 9 yellow-headed blackbirds, perched side by side (!) on an 8-foot section of chainlink fence on north extension of Disc Drive with 1 loudly singing male among them 4 scattered burrowing owls seen from the corner of Jubilee Church parking lot with the round concrete enclosure 1 vaux's swift flying low overhead near church I also saw a variety of birds drinking from two puddles formed by tire track ruts near the ranch's entrance gate. Among them: 3 western tanagers (2 males, 1 female) 2+ cedar waxwings On the way back to 101 via Grand, Los Esteros & Zanker Road, I saw a loggerhead shrike perched on a power pole guy wire near the entrance road to ECC, and not long afterward in front of the SC Co Pollution Control Plant Environmental Bldg I drove by a dead loggerhead shrike in the road. Nice day for birding! Donna Heim _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
