[SBB] Stile Ranch - Fortini Trail Loop

[Kathryn Parker <[[email protected]]>]

Walked the 2 mile Stile Ranch - Fortini Trail loop this morning. It was 
quite cold at the beginning and very quiet. Managed to see a pair of 
ROCK WRENS at the top of the trail in the serpentine. A pair of 
BLACK-SHOULDERED KITES was driving everything, including 2 red-tails, a 
crow and a flicker, out of a grove of live oaks. I wouldn't be 
surprised if they were thinking of breeding in there. BEWICKS WRENS 
were everywhere. Finally found my target birds, 2 RUFOUS-CROWNED 
SPARROWS and 2 CALIFORNIA THRASHERS in the scrub along Vincente Rd. 
along with a very large covey of CALIFORNIA QUAIL, probably 30 birds 
judging by the ones I saw and the ones I heard, and a group of 11 WILD 
TURKEYs. The trail is very wet and extremely slippery on the downhill 
parts.
