[SBB] Calero Reservoir, Coyote Creek GC, Metcalf Fishing Pond and Oka Ponds

[[[email protected]]]

All,
 
In hopes of some weather related fallout, Frank Vanslager and I first  
checked out Calero Reservoir this morning which unfortunately had no hoped  for 
rarities.  Best bird was a BARN OWL with one fuzzy young which has been  nesting 
in the open in the northeast corner of the stable farmhouse roof.   Other 
notables were a pair of CANADA GEESE with five to six fuzzy,  yellow, young in tow; 
two male GREATER SCAUP, one pair GADWALL, four  WESTERN GREBES, fifteen WILD 
TURKEYS and a low flying  OSPREY.  Hundreds of Swallows (NORTHERN 
ROUGH-WINGED, VIOLET-GREEN,  CLIFF, BARN AND TREE) swooped low over the water providing 
excellent  views as they passed nearby.  We also noted, for the first  time, 
several HELMUTED GUINEAFOWL near the stables.  Nothing of note,  in fact almost 
nothing, at Coyote Creek Golf Course.  DOUBLE-CRESTED  CORMORANTS swimming in 
the Metcalf Fishing Pond were all displaying  their double-crests.  There was 
nothing of note in the largest pond of  Los Gatos Creek Park (Oka Ponds). 
 
Take care,
Bob Reiling
