[SBB] Today's Birding.....

[[[email protected]]]

Good afternoon SBBers.....
 
Got out for a couple hours today to check out Calero....found two  White 
Pelicans, 3 male and 5 female Common Mergansers and a pair of Thrashers  
collecting nesting material....this of course was a thrill....6 Snowy Egrets and  3 
Great Egrets, 1 Great Blue Heron and a Western Grebe.
 
Checked out the Wild Turkeys at Calero Stable....Need help here.... I  walked 
down to the stables and found at the entrance 4 odd looking game birds  
(what's up with me finding these guys?)....they were not Turkeys, Quail or  
Pheasant.....They were larger than quail smaller than turkeys....spotted  feathers, 
necks were white, head had red and white....I am guessing the four  were males 
due to the color on the head....they had a top notch (not a good one  at 
that)....Anyone  seen these out there? IF so can you let me know what  they were? 
Thanks
 
Went to Ojier ponds, watched Tree Swallows flying in and out of what else,  
tree holes....had a pair of Ring-necked ducks as well as a pair of Gadwalls,  
Bufflehead and Ruddy Ducks (in great breeding plumage) were also present.
 
One the way back I checked out the Golden Eagle nest and could see a head  
sticking up in the nest....little ones or is it to early?
 
Wishing you all good birding and my best regards,
Linda Sullivan
