I checked for the Bald Eagle at Calero Reservoir at about eight, but no luck there. The two GREATER WHITE-FRONTED GEESE that associate with the Canada Goose flock there were quite close to the boat launch area. A nearby LOGGERHEAD SHRIKE was singing, which was fun. I then checked the unplowed field at the corner of Santa Teresa and Richmond (across from Coyote Valley Golf Center). Two adult FERRUGINOUS HAWKS continue at that location. The birds I saw were both adults, although the closer one had quite pale feathering on its legs. That one stayed quite close to Richmond most of the time, but the other was at the other end of the field and harder to see. A nice field: White-tailed Kite, 2 Red-tailed Hawks, and a female Am. Kestrel. I then stopped by the Ogier Avenue ponds and found such regulars as a sucessful fish-catching OSPREY, six WOOD DUCKS, 10 RING-NECKED DUCKS, and 4 f/imm COMMON MERGANSERS. A stop at the Coyote Creek GC to look for the Great-tailed Grackles was unsuccessful. I made a second stop at Calero Reservoir for the Bald Eagle, again no success. North of there, one GOLDEN EAGLE was on the nest platform and a second was hunting along the fields. Just north of there a MERLIN was on a roadside tree by McKean.
