Didn't find the chicks but saw adult Killdeer and their two chicks in the same area. They are miniatures of the adults in looks and habits. The water level is slowly rising making the gravel island smaller.The larger island is alive with nesting herons and egrets. A few very young birds can still be seen. Walking south from the lake, lots of Bullocks Orioles feeding on Blackberries on the Alamitos Creek bank. I found family of Ash throated Flycatchers and watched juvenile being fed a few feet away. Coots were feeding tiny red headed and yellow feathered young at the waters edge. A W. Kingbird was perched on a wire over the creek. Male Black-headed Grosbeak seen in Eucalyptus tree and a Green Heron flying upstream. I'm fairly certain I heard a Rufous crowned Sparrow singing on the hill east of the trail before reaching Crossview Ct. where I usually park. I searched in vain, while it sang repeatedly with pauses. It was too far for visual id when it finally flew away from me and behind the hill. Janna Pauser _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
