We met at Quicksilver Park's McAbee entrance early to owl. We > heard two WESTERN SCREECH OWLS a short distance into the park and saw a > GREAT HORNED OWL fly in an open area. > > Our next stop, Calero Creek Trail, at the base of Santa Teresa Parks > southern entrance, provided some good birds. Ann Verdi gave us that trail > to look for the Blue-gray Gnatcatcher I found two weeks earlier. We missed > some good birds I'd seen in the previous week, so I was shocked when I > heard the BLUE GRAY GNATCATCHER over the howling wind. We watch it for 10 > minutes, as it flew to the top of the sage, calling and feeding > occasionally. Most sparrows were hunkered down, but we managed to find > three RUFOUS CROWNED SPARROWS, a life bird for Kim. Driving back to McKean > on Fortini Rd. I decided to stop at a small stream. There we found over 50 > LARK SPARROWS perched in bushes in a side yard. Feathers all puffed up in > the cold, and making sounds which delighted us, they sat only a few feet > away!! A second life bird for Kim. > > Back at Quicksilver, the wind and rain had picked up considerably. We > decided to cut that walk short and drove to nearby Guadalupe Oak Grove > Park. At adjoining Jeffrey Fontana park two PEREGRINE FALCONS were perched > on power towers!! We managed to find two W.
