[SBB] Blackbirds at Arastradero

[Philip Terzian <[[email protected]]>]

Hi All,

 

I took a short walk in Arastradero Preserve in Palo Alto today and saw dozens of BICOLORED FORM RED-WINGED BLACKBIRDS.  They were chasing each other around, diving into nests(?) in the deep grass, and perching from time to time on anything slightly above average height.  Here are a couple of photos, one of a male and one of a female.

I also saw what appeared to be a LESSER GOLDFINCH on a small bush about 250 yards west of the parking area, maybe 75 yards after going over the small wooden foot bridge.  I took a photo, but it came out blurry.  Nevertheless, I can make it available to anyone who would like to confirm the ID.

 

What a beautiful day today.  Hope others enjoyed the day too.

 

Best,

Phil Terzian
