Birding was pretty slow, but I did have a couple things of note. A Northern Pygmy Owl was calling around mile marker 17.50 (actually there isn't a sign there, there's one at 17.38 though) in Stanislaus Co. A family of Lawrence's Goldfinches (male, female, and juv.) at the Fire Station near the Junction. I almost hit a California Thrasher a couple miles north of Mt. Hamilton (good brakes). A female Wilson's Warbler at the Smith Creek Field Station (in Oaks near the creek) seemed a bit out of place. Do they breed in this habitat here (no scrubby, shrubby areas in the creek, all tall oaks), or is this an early migrant/wanderer? For anyone interested in Butterflies, I had 1 Unsilvered Fritillary at Long Ridge OSP on Thursday. It was in the small clearing on the Peter's Creek trail after the junction with the Long Ridge trail, feeding on Thistles. Very little else (bugs or birds, for that matter) flying. -Pete (out of town, from Michigan) -- Pete Hosner Cell: 650-279-0533 _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
