[SBB] Purple Martin in Sierra Azul OSP

[[[email protected]]]

All,
 
At 10:30 this morning Frank Vanslager and I had excellent views of an adult  
male PURPLE MARTIN soaring low overhead as we walked down the road that  leads 
to Mt Umunhum.  The bird was in view for several minutes as it first  gained 
height and then went out of sight over a ridge in the direction  of the radar 
tower.  This area and the trail to Mt Baldy were fairly  birdy yielding the 
usual goodies including a BLACK-THROATED GRAY WARBLER  that was carrying food 
and was doing a fairly loud, call that we were not  familiar with.  I should 
also note that, in the morning, we came up  Hicks Rd from Camden Ave to Mt 
Umunhum Rd but as we tried to return by the  same route we found that a big tree had 
fallen across the road blocking  access [access is temporarily via Almaden Rd 
only].
 
Take care,
Bob Reiling
