[SBB] more BAGOs at Shoreline, cont BAEA at Calero

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

All,

A check of Shoreline Lake this morning 12/28/05 turned up 6 BARROW'S 
GOLDENEYES, all together in the northwest part of the lake. The group 
included one adult male, 3 adult females (bright orange bills with small 
black tips), 1 immature male (same size as adult male, with adult male 
facial crescent coming in on face and some adult-like back feathers 
acquired), and an immature female (small size, mostly dark-appearing 
bill with strong yellow suffusion to outer half). Also with this group 
was a single HORNED GREBE. Lots of SURF SCOTERS on the lake, but not 
much else of note.

Steve Rottenborn found a RED-THROATED LOON at Calero Reservoir this 
morning, so I stopped by there over lunch. No luck with the loon, but 
the adult BALD EAGLE was still perched in its usual spot (Steve saw it 
there this morning as well). A few trees away was a perched immature 
PEREGRINE FALCON.  At least 45 COMMON MERGANSERS were on the reservoir 
and 2 female BROWN-HEADED COWBIRDS were with the blackbird flock at the 
boat launch.
