[SBB] Rancho San Antonio OSP , 4/27/07

[Gordon Barrett <[[email protected]]>]

I made my third trip of the week to the OSP and confirmed that the 
Western Screech-Owl continues.  This time I made my way to the pond 
on the Rogue Valley Trail (2.3 miles from the parking lot).  The pond 
contained one male Ring-necked Duck and 3 Mallard couples.  Tree 
Swallows and Phoebes were getting the bugs.  The trip highlight 
however was the appearance of a pair of screaming Red-shouldered 
Hawks over the left canyon rim being confronted? by another pair 
coming over the right side.  The four birds  circled each other 
screaming while I watched a 5th Red-shouldered Hawk fly in to check 
out the racket?  After 5 minutes or so of screaming, they all just 
quietly flew off.

Two male Turkeys were displaying at each other near the tennis 
courts.  No Bluebirds seen today.
