But this morning both male and female HOODED ORIOLES were flying into the easterly of the two palms, so maybe they are persisting in their efforts. Here's the male, this morning: http://www.geocities.com/tgrey41/hoodedoriole2s.jpg Yesterday I heard two PACIFIC-SLOPE FLYCATCHERS calling here, and saw a male WILSON'S WARBLER in the thicket around the marshy area -- he has been here for a month, and I didn't hear him singing, so this species may have nested here. We saw a (the same?) male WILSON'S in our back yard fountain a block and a half away, also yesterday. A COOPER'S HAWK, smallish and so likely male, was pursuing a Nuthatch into one of the small oaks planted in the meadow. This morning, two male BLACK-HEADED GROSBEAKS were in and around the meadow, both singing. I still can't find a Red-tailed Hawk nest anywhere nearby, though I'm pretty sure there is one in a redwood somewhere. Yesterday I saw three adult WHITE-TAILED HAWKS flying around each other with legs extended -- two of them landed in the top of one of the redwoods and copulated. Lots of the regulars singing, such as this Spotted Towhee: http://www.geocities.com/tgrey41/spottedtowhee2.jpg Tom Grey [[email protected]] _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
