I went birding in San Benito and Fresno Counties
today.  In San Benito, I missed the Sandhill Crane
that's been seen at San Felipe Lake, but I did see
Steve Rovell's BURROWING OWL on Lake Road, plus a
second individual.  At San Felipe Lake were several
dozen American White Pelicans, dozens of Dowitchers,
and a few distant Greater White-fronted Geese.  I
couldn't get an exact count, but I'd estimate that I
saw a half dozen or so.  At Paicines Reservoir was a
single BALD EAGLE.  Along Panoche Road was a
Phainopepla, a single Rufous-crowned Saprrows and a
Golden Eagle.  In Panoche Valley were a few Vesper
Saprrows amongst the numbers of Savannahs.  Along
Little Panoche Road were a couple of Sage Sparrows and
more Vesper Sparrows.  In Fresno County I found a
single male BULLOCK'S ORIOLE singing from a scrubby
Cottonwood tree.  Back in Panoche, just to the north
of the Inn, I had at least one Cassin's Kingbird. 
Another Cassin's Kingbird was along Santa Anna Valley
Road a mile or so before Fairview Road.

I had a question, which perhaps some of you could
answer.  At the corner of Little Panoche Road and
Panoche Valley Road was a big sign claiming the
Fresno-San Benito County line was about 20 yards east
of the intersection.  My map claimed that the county
line was about 6 miles east of here.  Which is
correct?  Did the county line change recently?

Good birding,
