[SBB] Brown Pelican at Vasona

[Janna Pauser <[[email protected]]>]

I birded at Vasona Lake this morning, walking only short distance from 
the dam. The trail was crowded and nearly impossible to navigate. Why go 
on a Saturday you ask. I heard an immature Brown Pelican was on the 
lake, and found it a few yards from the trail south of the dam. An 
Osprey was flying overhead and numerous egrets and herons were seen 
here. Black-headed Grosbeak f. feeding begging fledgling and Hooded and 
Bullocks Orioles seen north of the dam. Pacific-slope Flycatcher calling 
and a family of Western Bluebirds found near YSI.

Lee and I hiked a portion of the new Mayfair Ranch trail in OSA's Rancho 
Canada Del Oro Park again this afternoon. Western Bluebirds and Ash 
throated Flycatchers are nesting in the meadow and along the trail. 
Numerous Huttons Vireos with fledglings, Orange-crowned and Yellow 
Warbler seen. Warbling Vireo, Western Wood Pewee, Wrentit and Black 
headed Grosbeak were seen or heard. Am. Kestrel pair feeding begging 
young in a Sycamore tree behind the barn a mile in on Casa Loma Rd.

                           **************************************

Two newly fledged Red-shouldered Hawks were perched together in an oak 
tree in Guadalupe Oak Grove Park yesterday. Their nest was over the 
parking lot with no view from below. It was worth the wait, they're 
beautiful.
