[SBB] Vaux's Swifts



This evening, July 4, I birded the Alamitos Creek along Queenswood, south of Camden in Almaden Valley. Seven Vaux's Swifts were seen in the short distance to Almaden Rd. A Purple Finch was heard near the Almaden bridge over the creek. In previous years I'd seen W. Kingbirds here, so I crossed Camden and birded north. At the start of the dirt trail across from Carrabelle Park, I found a family of W. Kingbirds. Three downy WEKI fledglings perched together on a Sycamore tree branch couldn't have been cuter. One adult stayed with the young while the other hunted. When that adult returned with food the other adult would fly off. Cal. Quail were taking a dirt bath on the trail and a loud Belted Kingfishers rattle heard near the creek. Missing were the Cal. Thrashers that used to be numerous here.
