It played hard to get but she found it after we visited Calero and returned to get her car. Nice bird. Of course, we also saw all five resident herons here as well, the newly arrived Ring-Necked Ducks, a Red-Shouldered Hawk fly into one tree and a Peregrine Falcon fly into another, and the rest of the list of 35 birds below. We also parked in the horse-trailer lot at Calero to view the smaller birds, including lot's of Western Bluebirds(one sat on my radio antenna), two Red-Breasted Sapsuckers, my first Pacific Fox Sparrow, Yellow-Rumped Warblers on the ground, and the rest of the 20 birds on the Calero list below. I almost forgot to mention the two Golden Eagles that flew over giving great views and the ten or so Western Meadowlarks that drove me off the road on our way back by Fortini Road. 55 birds in two locations made it a nice day for me, and Janna saw and heard birds I missed!
