The Wild Bird Center group lead by Freddy Howell were thrilled to watch a 
Bluebird pair with year old female near a nest box in Guadalupe Oak Grove 
Park this morning on their saturday bird walk.
************************************************************
At noon I walked from the Mazzone Bridge at the Alamitos Creek trail to 
Pfeiffer Ranch Rd. A few Nutmeg Mannikins were observed south of the bridge 
where they are frequently seen. Near par course # 13, I spotted a female W. 
Tanager not far from where I'd seen a pair in November and again in 
February. I didn't see the male this time. She was in her bright plumage.

A pair of White breasted Nuthatches are nesting in a box on the fence in 
the same area, east side of the equestrian trail. The male was observed 
feeding the female in the nest box.

  I found one pair of Wood Ducks on the eastern bank of the creek near 
Pfeiffer Ranch Rd. Lots of color on the female this time. On the way back 
to my car, I looked for the W. Tanager again, but instead found a male 
Hooded Oriole, also near par course # 13. His noisy chatter got my 
attention. A pair nested in this area last year. Much more common here is 
the Bullocks Oriole.

  A pair of noisy Red shouldered Hawks a little further north will probably 
nest in the area again. Also seen were Coopers Hawk, Red tailed Hawk, White 
throated Swift, Violet Green Swallows, female Common Merganser, Bewicks 
Wren, Chickadee, Titmouse, Ruby crowned Kinglets, Nuttalls 
Woodpecker,Cal.Towhee, American Goldfinch, Black Phoebe, and Bushtits. 
Wrentits were heard only in the blooming sage on the hill.
