We were treated to quite an eventful morning and were able to photograph a male NORTHERN HARRIER devouring a rodent, a fairly cooperative AMERICAN KESTREL, a posing SAY'S PHOEBE and several WHITE-SHOULDERED KITES. We also got a good "action sequence" of ACORN WOODPECKERS pounding acorns into their storage holes. I also never tire of photographing the WHITE-CROWNED SPARROWS there. One great moment we weren't able to capture was when a Kestrel flew into the Acorn Woodpeckers' tree and was mobbed by the woodpeckers. We also saw a RED-TAILED HAWK drive a Kite off "it's" meadow by the parking lot. I've posted some images at: http://www.cardinalphoto.com/sbb/ Many of the other usual birds were there including PIED-BILLED GREBES on the Lake along with a RUDDY DUCK, STARLINGS, SCRUB JAYS, a pair of NORTHERN FLICKERS, ANNA'S HUMMINGBIRDS and GOLD-CROWNED SPARROWS. --David Cardinal Cardinal Photo http://www.cardinalphoto.com _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
