We found a total of three GREAT EGRETS and two SNOWY EGRETS. One GREG and one SNEG were on the Coyote Creek Golf Course, two GREG were on the east side of Hwy 101 (one between the Dunne and Cochrane exits and another just before the Golf Course exit) and a second SNEG was in the fishing pond north of Metcalf Rd. We had two OSPREY viewable from Ogier Ponds (the pond north of the entrance road). 26 to 30 TURKEY VULTURES were on the ground between the two ponds north of the Ogier Ponds entrance road. While we were in the area we checked out the Doves near the intersection of Murphy and Maple Aves in Morgan Hill. We had at least 10 to 12 EURASIAN COLLARED-DOVES and one apparently RINGED TURTLE-DOVE (the latter being a much lighter colored and smaller dove with white undertail coverts). One should be aware that these birds are not countable as the man living at this intersection has raised and released doves in the past. The doves tend to feed on food available in his yard and are usually found within a quarter mile of the house. Frank also wanted me to note that on Saturday's SCVAS field trip to the Sunnyvale Water treatment Facility that the male white-headed RUDDY DUCK was well seen in Salt Pond A3W. Take care, Bob Reiling. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
