[SBB] Purple Martin over Bald Mountain

[Kay Partelow <[[email protected]]>]

On Saturday, Chris MacIntosh and I identified a single PURPLE MARTIN flying 
over the top of Bald Mtn. in the Sierra Azul OSP.  This was early 
afternoon, sunny skies which cleared after a foggy morning.  We commented 
on how Starling-like the bird was, but the larger size, swallow-like flight 
pattern, slightly notched tail, and overall dark color of the bird told us 
it was a martin.

Another interesting sighting:  A single WILD TURKEY jogging along the road 
on our way up to the parking lot.  Luckily she darted off before the 
approach of any oncoming traffic.
