[SBB] Rinconada Hills

[[[email protected]]]

Good afternoon SBBers.....
 
While the hardwood floors are being redone I took a nice long walk around  
Rinconada Hills.....the birds were out in full force.
 
Two WESTERN TANAGERS, a RUBY-CROWNED KINGLET and lots of YELLOW-RUMPED  
WARBLERS right outside my front door!  Singing (and seen) CA THRASHERS,  SPOTTED 
TOWHEES everywhere.  A single HERMIT THRUSH doing its chip  note....it was great 
to see, haven't seen one in awhile....BEWICK'S WREN was  another plentiful 
bird today.
 
BLACK-PHOEBEs made their presence known....and at the lake....a single  
PIED-BILLED GREBE and pair of COOTS were swimming.  Lots of MALLARDS and a  single 
(resident?) GREEN HERON. 
 
The standard CHICKADEES, CA TOWHEES, OAKTITMICE, MOURNING DOVES AND  HOUSE 
FINCH were accounted for.
 
Yesterday, I had a COOPER'S HAWK run a Mourning Dove into my glass windows  
and fly off with it in its talons before the mourning dove hit the ground.
 
Oops, almost forgot about the flock (8-10) Cedar Waxwings!
 
Still present in the backyard is the pair of RED-SHOULDERED HAWKS. The  
juvies must have moved off in search of their own territory.
 
Wishing you all good birding....and my best regards....
Linda Sullivan
