[SBB] Sierra Road and Bald Eagles



All,
 
This morning Frank Vanslager and I had some of the usual goodies on Sierra Road seeing GRASSHOPPER SPARROW (several calling from various fence posts), HORNED LARK,  RUFOUS-CROWNED SPARROW, and YELLOW-BILLED MAGPIE.  Other species included WESTERN BLUEBIRD, WESTERN MEADOWLARK, BULLOCK'S ORIOLE (feeding fledged young on the hillside above the road), AMERICAN KESTREL, RED-TAILED HAWK, RED-SHAFTED FLICKER, WESTERN KINGBIRD, ASH-THROATED FLYCATCHER, and WESTERN WOOD-PEWEE.  No sign of Wrens or Golden Eagles.  Just before heading home we checked out the BALD EAGLE nestlings on Calaveras Road where we and Dean Manley got good views of the young eagles as they stretched their wings showing white axillaries and coverts on the under-wing contrasting with their dark brown bodies.  They should fledge soon.   
 
Take care,
Bob Reiling
