[SBB] McClellan Ranch Report

[Bob Power <[[email protected]]>]

Hi all:

Birds this week --

Lots of juveniles around.  Chickadees in abundance,
Western Scrub-jay, White-breasted Nuthatch, Spotted
Towhee, House Finch, Hooded Orioles.  Bullock's
Orioles have been very active. No juveniles seen yet.

Wednesday a distant Gold and white bird perched in a
redwood on the east edge of Shadow Cliffs Golf Course
(across the street from the Ranch) had me thinking the
Barn Owl had made a daytime forray.... A few seconds
of contemplation and a helpful dive-bombing crow had
the bird morph into this year's first sighting of a
juvenile White-tailed Kite. No siblings or parents in
sight.

The Barn Owl is visible in the barn most every day;
tours on the half hour.

A singing Yellow Warbler was at the bridge/front
parking lot yesterday and this a.m.  A/the Western
Wood-peewee disappeared for a week or so, but has been
calling again this week.  

Wood ducks are an elusive memory/mystery.

Good birding,

Bob Power
McClellan Ranch
Cupertino, CA
