Hi All!
       The raptors were out and about in Alum Rock park this windy afternoon! 
 Red-tailed Hawk, Red-shouldered Hawk, American Kestrel and Turkey Vultures 
were all soaring over the park between 2 and 3 pm today.   A Golden Eagle 
swooped low over the parking lot at one point, dwarfing the Turkey Vultures behind 
it.  
       There was a Selasphorus (Allen's?) Hummingbird which seems to have 
taken possession of a dead tree frequented throughout the fall by Acorn 
Woodpeckers (the woodpeckers were absent this afternoon).   If you're driving into Alum 
Rock park, and after you pass the Alum Rock Ave. entrance, this dead tree is 
on the left side of the road at the first parking lot where there are marked 
spaces on both the left and right sides of the road.   There were lots of 
Northern Rough-winged Swallows flying here, and some of them perched in the tree as 
well.  The Selasphorus Hummingbird returned and perched frequently, both when 
I first arrived, and again an hour later when I returned to the car.
                                         
                                                 Kim Blythe
                                                 Santa Clara
