Mike Collared Dove numbers have shot up
recently in the Half Moon Bay area. It seems like there is an early May
movement of these critters, as before this numbers have been stable for a
while. They seem to like the coast, we have a bunch of spots where they are
regular now. The birds in Half Moon Bay are displaying noticeably now, and are
surely nesting here. Al Alvaro Jaramillo [[email protected]] Half Moon Bay, CA Field Guides - Birding http://www.fieldguides.com/home.htm From:

[mailto:[[email protected]]] On Behalf Of michael mammoser I went to CCFS this morning, 16 May 06, and birded the riparian
corridor just south of the waterbird pond. A couple of YELLOW WARBLERS were
singing in this area. Most interesting, though, was a EURASIAN COLLARED DOVE
that landed on the fence as I was walking back to my car. It sat for about 30
seconds before flying off towards the waterbird pond. I headed that way to try
and refind it, but only came up with a couple of WESTERN KINGBIRDS. The
waterbird pond itself had a leucistic BLACK-NECKED STILT. This bird may have
been an immature, as it was slightly smaller than the other stilts there. It
had a light brownish rear crown and nape and some mottled dusky patches in the
wings. Otherwise it was generally white. It also had a bicolored bill, with the
base half being pinkish and the rest black. The RED-TAILED HAWK nest at the southern gate has a couple of chicks in
it. Michael Mammoser -- -- |
