[SBB] GTGR continues

[Mike Rogers <[[email protected]]>]

All,

I made a lunch time trip to the Palo Alto Baylands today 4/25/05 and 
easily found the singing male GREAT-TAILED GRACKLE in the palms and 
pines behind the pond. Now why wasn't he that vocal when we were there 
Saturday? Three WHIMBREL were an easy find in the yacht harbor basin now 
that the tide was at the right height. The COMMON GOLDENEYE was still at 
the duck pond, but the Herring Gull was likely the dead gull floating 
along the pond's northern edge. A WILSON'S WARBLER was singing from the 
ranger station.

Feeling lucky with blackbirds, I zipped over to the Arzino Ranch for 
Yellow-headed Blackbirds - no luck with that, but two AMERICAN PIPITS in 
the wet area along Los Esteros were frustrating in that I've seen them 
every time I've been there in the last two weeks, except during our Big 
Day on Saturday! :(

Arriving back here at work there was a pair of GOLDEN EAGLES (1 
subadult, 1 adult) hunting jackrabbits in the fields north of my 
building. The subadult was chasing the jackrabbit on the ground by 
lunging and making short flights.  The same two birds were doing the 
same thing on Friday 22 April as well.
