[SBB] CCFS

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.
