Folks I led a very enjoyable afternoon SFBBO Birds of the
Bay Trail walk at the Palo Alto Baylands on Saturday. There were lots of birds
to look at, and we did not get rained on. One of the most interesting was a
hawk seen from the Duck Pond (towards the north). It was a juvenile Red-tailed
type it seemed, but had substantial amounts of white on the tail. It was not
close and did not give a good study. However the funny mix of characters made
me think it was a Harlan’s Hawk, my hesitation is that I gather that
there is a funny looking young Red-tail in the area. Anyone who has seen this
bird, does it have a substantial amount of white markings on the tail base? Two Clapper Rails showed well, and lots of good studies of
various gulls, shorebirds and ducks. An anatum Peregrine Falcon adult was
showing off flying about, harassing a harrier, and perching low down on the
power towers for scope views. Good birding Al Alvaro Jaramillo Half Field Guides - Birding |
