[SBB] Brown-headed Cowbirds

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

Thanks to all the replies to my cowbird question. Tried Calero this 
morning. No luck on the cowbirds but did have a very cooperative 
COOPER's HAWK on one of the trees over the road into the stables. He 
was bird 160. There were also 49 WILD TURKEYs  on the way in. Next 
tried Arzino Ranch. No cowbirds, but did see 11 male TRICOLORED 
BLACKBIRDS. Drove up to the summit of Sierra Rd. At the intersection of 
Felter Rd. and Calaveras Rd. had a flock of 30 LARK SPARROWS on 
telephone wires. At the summit of Sierra Rd. there were 11 HORNED LARKS 
in the grass until an immature GOLDEN EAGLE flew over very low and 
there were 23 HORNED LARKS in the air. A BARN OWL was in the pines at 
the Elm Picnic Area of Ed Levin Park. Also tried the Baylands, not a 
cowbird in sight, hardly any blackbirds at all. Maybe the lack of 
cowbirds is a hopeful sign for the small birds come this spring....
